    Updated review: Oct. 31, 2016

    Apparently, this was a misunderstanding and Office Depot did the right thing in the long run. Thanks, Office Depot.

    Original Review: Oct. 7, 2016

    On Tuesday, October 4, 2016 I called the Office Depot Customer Service hotline at 1-800-GO-Depot and spoke to a customer service representative in order to obtain a price match for a Samsung 6300 UN60KU6300F. The same model listed at Office Depot for $1,399.99 is listed at Target for $949.99 on sale. After the customer service rep looked up the item and checked with her supervisor, she returned to the phone to inform me as per company policy that they do not match items that come directly from the manufacturer (lie #1). When she discovered this item does not come directly from the manufacturer as listed on the webpage, she then said they do not match sale items (lie #2).

    I then asked her to match the price that Walmart sells the same TV for, which is their everyday low price of $997.99. She then came back after checking with her supervisor again to say they cannot match that price either. This time because it is more than 10% difference (lie #3). I then asked to speak with the supervisor. After about 15 minutes wait, Jerry (agent # **) came to the phone to inform me that company policy is that they do not match sale items and when I asked where that is located in the policy, he said it is at their discretion. In other words there is no policy stating they do not match sale items, he just used that as an excuse. The specific company policy is they do not match holiday sale items and this Target item is on sale, but not a holiday sale.

    Then when asked about the match to Walmart, or B&H Photo (who also has it at regular price under $1,000.00) Supervisor Jerry said they cannot price match anything below their cost ratio. In other words, if the price of electronics goes down (which they always do), Office Depot will not price match because of their bad purchase. They want to pass their being ripped off, on the customer being ripped off. Target not only has the item on sale, but they currently have a discount on all Samsung TVs using their Cartwheel application and the Red Card, adding an additional discount of 15% to the price, bringing the total if purchased through Target to $815.00. I was hoping to match that price and add your current promotion of 20% off using the online code of 20OFFGOOD41, bringing your final price below $800.

    Jerry had the attitude that he could not care less about the customer, or who I complained to. He simply stated that company policy is such that I am not getting the price match no matter what. Office Depot is in financial jeopardy and closing stores left and right because of supervisors like Jerry (agent # **) disseminating deceptive business policy that may or may not be the case and certainly are not ethical or customer friendly.

    I wish I couldn't even give them a star. The employees are rude, no one wants to do their job. I went to the Office Depot on E 71 St in Tulsa, Ok on 10/2/16. I asked for help in the furniture department and one employee told me it wasn't her department and didn't bother to find someone for me...then when I finally got help the guy acted like I was an inconvenience, told me there were no desk like that and I can look at the other Office Depot.

    So today 10/3/16 I went to the Office Depot in Muskogee, Ok to look for the desk I seen online only to get there and find out that the only one that was left was in a busted up box. The employee told me I could order it out, checkout and it would be delivered for free to the place. We got up there, the checkout lady was hateful and stated we don't do that anymore. So the gentleman and I went to talk to the manager and he was an asshat and would not override the delivery charge and was pushing me to buy the one in the busted up box.

    I did not leave with any item today. I will never go back to ANOTHER Office Depot and trust me I will advise anyone and anybody to not do business there. This is first time I have had issues with this company, it seems like this is the way they operate. I will from now on do business with another company. Wouldn't be sad to see this company close their doorsite for good.

    I purchased an Epson printer a year ago with 2-year protection agreement. 1st make sure you read it completely. You cannot return anything to the store under this service. You must call a 1-800 number to get started. Once you call and talk to someone, they inform you that you must send the print back. I said "ok cool no problem". They told me "everything is good. Go ahead and print out the UPS shipping form and take the printer to UPS." Ok cool, I did that. Wrong. The guy forgot to tell me. You have to pay for the BOX and Packaging materials like foam. $18.00 later. I said ok no big deal fine. I paid for the Box. I call them back to let them know hey, it's in the mail. I also want to change the form of repayment from a gift card to a check. They said "sure we can send you a check instead". Once we receive the printer, it takes 7 days for the check arrive in the mail. I said cool no biggie!!!

    09/08/16 Called the store where I purchased the printer. I was told no I must call the 1-800. No returns or exchanges are done in store after so many days; 09/09/16 put it in the mail. Brown told me they will receive it on Monday the 12th; 09/20/16 Called today to find out what is taking so long. The customer service personnel told me "we received it but we had proved there was a problem 1st. That was completed on the 14th but because it was the weekend checks weren't cut until Monday"; I said "1st off the 14th was on a Wednesday, not a Friday. Try again what is taking so long. I know you received it on the 12th in the a.m."

    Well, they just cut the check today. OK, it's the 20th. It's been a 8 day now; Now he tells me "well you won't receive the check until sometime next week". I ask 4 times on what day. He replied the 29th. So what happened to 'receive it in 7 days from the time you received the printer'. Now it will be 17 days from the 12th. I'm a little upset because I should be able to exchange it for one that works or get a credit toward a new one. I would have paid the difference if the same one is no longer available. I understand fraud and all that jazz but hey I just want to get another printer. The one I had was having software issues. Instead, I'm still waiting on the money and I had to go buy a new one at Staples. So I know it will arrive on the 30th, 22 days later. This process is stupid. They are quick to offer insurance and take your money. Hoping it will outlast the 2-year plan but hello it didn't.

    About month ago I ordered a desk at a local Office Depot store. Three days later I called CS and cancelled the order because I did not want the desk anymore. They told me my money would be accredited back to my account within a week. Every week I have been calling and they just keep lying to me. Telling me that the return has been approved and that my money will be back at any time yet it has been a month now. I worked here for the summer and I know how much they emphasize customer satisfaction on us yet CS sucks so much and all they do is lie and don't have an order. This experience was ** and I will never buy here again. I told the store I would post this review because they are very upsetting. When I asked to speak to the supervisor they kept BS-ing me telling me they were busy all the time. Don't order anything. You will wait months for your refund.

    MIchigan City Employee Kimberly, the worst. This company is absolutely the worst. Not only do they never have the printer ink I need in stock, it is always sold out, but the employees are rude, untrained and do everything they can to avoid helping you. Kimberly has to be a very special employee though as she takes being rude to customers to a new height. Staples here I come!

    On September 11, I received awful news from my bank's fraud department. They called me to verify some transactions they believed were fraud. These transactions were totaled almost $500. It just happened I had made a return with Office Depot for a wrong item, and it went well because the money went right back into my PayPal account. Right after that I place an order for the correct item and I had to give all my credit card information and the CVV number on the back to the customer service woman. Subsequently, two other transactions totaling $500 were made on my account, two transaction I did not make. Even though these fraudulent charges are still under investigation, I will not trust Office Depot again, especially, their outsourced customer service.

    Saw the Office Depot commercial-backpacks 50 percent off. At the store Office Depot sign states prices on one side and prices after the percentage off listed. The employee scans the 71 dollar backpack and comes out to 42 something. Not even half. When I question it she says it's 140 dollars and the manager starts to take the price off. After I try buying shes making up prices and states no it doesn't state here that it's the retail price. So why mention it. So the 71 dollar backpack was being sold 50 percent more than advertisement. VERY DISGUSTED. We don't need a store like this in town!

    Took my daughter's computer in because software from a class not loading. I was told the reason it wouldn't load is because it had a virus. They told me they would get rid of the virus, apply anti-virus, upgrade to Windows 10, and upload my daughter's class software. After not calling me the next day, I called them. They said the computer wasn't compatible with Windows 10 and they could not load the software for my daughter's class. If I had known that, I would not have let them do any work. I ask for some refund and they told me they did everything on the work order. Apparently they didn't put the upgrade and software on the work order. They would not give me a refund. They lied to me. Also, the computer was scratched. We didn't find that out until we got home. I believe they just wanted to sell with no concern for giving me what I needed.

    I placed an order online for several cases of copier paper and other items. It usually comes within 1-2 days. I never received this. I tracked the order and it stated it had been delivered. I called and spoke to a customer service rep that is outsourced and she kept insisting it had been ordered and signed by Anthony. I don't have an Anthony. She stated they would refund me. This was not done. I called back and asked for a manager to call me and I never received a call. A week or more later, someone tried to deliver the paper and I refused since I had already purchased it elsewhere. I have called back twice and asked for a manager. That cust rep. assured me again they would refund this to my credit card for items I never received. This still has not been done. Will never shop online with this company again.

    I purchased a Dymo M25 postal scale at a LaVista, NE Office Depot store on 8/14/16 at a price of $99.99. I discovered a few days later that the same item on their website sells for $42.89. I called the store manager and was told they would price match their own online price, but I would have to bring the scale in to get this. I live 300 miles from the store and the time and fuel to make a special trip is just not worth it. I am required to return the item in person and then order it online. I will try to do this at a store which is a little closer, but the closest store is 2 1/2 hours away. I should not have to exchange the item or be there in person. This was charged to my credit card and they could just issue me a credit if they wanted to. I will not buy items in Office Depot/Max stores now without doing an online price check. Amazon is looking really attractive to me now.

    Last evening, I went to OfficeMax in Madison, WI in search of a specific Jansport backpack. I had been searching for one on sale and OfficeMax was advertising their Jansport backpacks at 30% off. The store had a price on the backpack of $78.99. From my research, I knew this price seemed high. I searched Jansports website and found that they list the price for the identical backpack of $55.00. I showed this to an assistant manager of the Madison, WI store and I got all kinds of excuses as to why the prices were so different. "Maybe the backpack is a few years old and it was at the higher price when we (OfficeMax) purchased them."

    Well, for obvious reasons, that made no sense to me. Why would Officemax be selling a backpack that is 3 years old? I then did the math and found that if you deduct 30% from the $78.99 price, it came out to about $55.00. This is a clear example of a retailer raising the cost of an item, then putting it on sale that takes the price back down to the retail price. That is just not fair to any consumer. Needless to say, I did not purchase the backpack from OfficeMax. As a result, I will never again shop at Office Max/Office Depot.

    I placed a print order from Office Depot for the first time. The order was nearly $500, & the materials are for my school. The first time they claim they tried to deliver the order was on July 7, 2016. They sent an email at 10:20pm the day before, notifying me of the delivery. However, not only was I there the entire day, but so was my secretary & at least 8 guys working on school's front driveway, & said they never saw a delivery truck. The next day, again, they claim they tried to deliver my order. I wasn't given any notification for this, but I had an all-day meeting, so I wasn't there. But the driveway construction guys were there & said, again, they never saw a delivery truck.

    I called customer service and was PROMISED that the order would be delivered between 8:00am & 12:00pm the following business day, & was given an escalation ticket number. They claim they came at 9:19 am & no one was here, but I was here the whole time. And the 8 driveway construction guys were there. Most of the time that day, I was sitting in the front office with the door wide open.

    I called customer service again. Again, I was PROMISED the order would be delivered the following day. I had to leave the office, but the 8 driveway construction guys said they'd watch for the delivery. This is supposedly the 4th delivery attempt. I returned to the office before 10:30am, & walked into the office just as a message was being left on the office phone, saying they attempted to deliver the materials, but no one was there. I flew outside, & asked every one of the 8 guys if they saw a delivery truck. Every one of them denied seeing a truck, & further stated that there's no way they could miss it because they were right there in the parking lot.

    I called customer service again. I told them that this is the 2nd time they claimed to have attempted delivery when there WERE PEOPLE PRESENT TO ACCEPT THE DELIVERY. I asked if I could please just pick the order up at a store or from the delivery service's office. I was told that I can't pick up a print order that was placed online at one of their stores. Furthermore, they said I couldn't pick it up from the delivery service because they don't have an office!

    Now it's 2 days later, & no delivery, & no delivery "attempt." I called customer service AGAIN. She told me that the delivery service has my delivery date set for tomorrow between 8:30am & 5:30pm. I told her I needed it to be delivered by 1:00pm because I have to leave campus at that time. She guaranteed that she was providing that information to the delivery service.

    A couple of hours later, I receive a call from Office Depot customer service. This person tells me that the 1:00pm deadline was not sent to the delivery service & there was nothing she could do about it. I lost it. I insisted on speaking with someone higher than her. She said there wasn't anyone. She said I would receive a call for assistance in the next 4 business hours. It was 4:55pm, so I asked, "You're saying I'll receive a call by tomorrow at noon?!" After she confirmed that I was correct, I asked, "How will a call tomorrow at noon get my materials delivered by 1:00pm?!" I really went off then, again telling her I needed to speak with someone higher, that this is unacceptable, etc., etc. She then said I would receive a call in an hour. She then gave me my 2nd escalation ticket number.

    At 6:20pm, nearly 90 minutes later, no phone call. So I called customer service again. Each time, mind you, I have to start from the beginning & explain everything. The girl kept saying, "You haven't received your package because it's scheduled to be delivered tomorrow." Oh my gosh!!! I asked for someone higher, to which she said that is not possible. I told her I just want a refund. She just ignored that. After I raised my voice again, which I don't normally do because I don't like people to yell at me, I told her this is the 5th delivery date! She then guaranteed that she sent the delivery service the directive to deliver the package by 1:00pm.

    She said I should be receiving another phone call from Office Depot to verify the info she submitted. She then gave me my 3rd escalation ticket number. I am beyond livid. I needed these materials last week, & now it's Thursday night of the week following the supposed 1st delivery attempt. DON'T ORDER PRINTED MATERIALS ONLINE FROM OFFICE DEPOT. I wish I'd read the previous reviews about Office Depot's lack of ability to hire reliable delivery companies.

I spent time searching on their site. I ordered an item that arrived damaged. I had to take the time to email them, then I had to call. I had to repackage the filing cabinet and now I am back to square one. The least they should have done was to send me another filing cabinet for the same price to compensate me for the trouble I went through. The time of their customers is as important as theirs. But they did not, do not even offer to compensate for that.

I call back a week later and request to speak with a manager and they tell me that "no manager is available at this moment, leave your phone number and they will call back." Guess what no one calls. 3 days later I call again and the same thing repeat, I leave my phone number and no one call.

    3 days later I call and the representative tells me that they had some issues with the weather and they could not deliver the desk. Like seriously what kind of excuse is this. It's been 3 weeks and it's June!! There is no snow. At least not here in Ohio. After all I ask for a refund and the lady tells me that they cannot do that because the table is already on its way. After I was very frustrated with them they credited me the money. Still waiting for the credit and hope they give it to me eventually because I cannot trust them anymore. Worst experience ever!

Not only OD couldn't delivery when it promised it's stooped so low as to forge a customer's signature. So I called OD's customer services (800-463-3768). Cherry, supervisor said my chair will be re delivered on 5/31, and to show their sincere apologies for my inconveniences she refunded me a $50 + $29.99 shipping fee.

    Checked my credit card on 5/30. No sight of the two refunds. Got a call from Cherry at 12: 36 pm on 5/31. Have a three way call with the carrier, AMX denied the same date delivery and reschedule the delivery for 6/4. I have waited for a week for this chair. Not only I didn't get my chair as promised on 5/25 and 5/31 now I have to wait an additional week? There was no getting help from OD corporate office (561-438-4800). All they did on the phone is apologized, apologized, apologized which they didn't solve anything. If you still want to order from OD, be prepare for the frustration, dishonesty, and lack of integrity.

    I need to vent. I bought a 500gb Samsung Evo SSD from OfficeMax. Was guaranteed 1 day delivery. When it doesn't show up the first day, I let it slide. When it doesn't show up on the second day, I call customer service. I get put on hold for a guy in an Indian call center, who can barely speak English, and he tells me after a few attempts to tell him the issue, that it will come on Tuesday. That's not a 1 day delivery, it's a 6 day delivery. I will not be purchasing anything from OfficeMax after this. It's infuriating.

    I visited the store today... Was looking to purchase a book stand... Ask the representative (Ben) for assistance and was told that the item was sold. 10 mins later a customer came in and took the item to the register and purchased it. My take on this is if he did not want to assist me he could have said so or direct me to another sales representative.

    One of the worst experiences I've ever had with a company. I understand that they are working with a third party company for transporting purchased goods. But it still doesn't change the fact that I ordered furniture from them, and they can't deliver it on time. Not only that, but they ship it to the wrong damn city! I don't understand that, as I purchased the item at the store in my city and that's where their warehouse is located. So...why ship it 2 hrs to a different location and call me 3 times the day after it was suppose to be here and tell me it'll be here before 5. Then don't show up and make me wait till 5:30 to have to call and find out nobody's coming till tomorrow.

    Look, I work full time so it's hard for me to coordinate. Get your ** straight. Seriously. I understand mistakes happen. I work in retail so I get that. The forces that cause that, I understand. I don't think are driven by malice. I think are just ordinary examples of human error. Annoying? Yes. Irritating? Yes. But nothing to get angry about, or mad for that matter...but YOU GOTTA BE HONEST. If it ain't gonna happen a certain day, LET ME KNOW! I'm not gonna get mad about that. But I will be frustrated if you lie to me. That's all. Hope my furniture comes in tomorrow without a flaw. Thanks for viewing my vent and God bless you all. You'll really need it with these people.

    The Office Depot I go to was remodeled. The new "lighting" is so dim, it makes it VERY difficult to find or compare items. Even the staff person had to put his face right in front of the ink options to try to find the ink I wanted. I asked him when the store was putting in new lighting, assuming the current darkness was just a temporary problem due to the recent remodel. He stated it was "dim" (understatement) and was going to remain this way, and also said the staff liked it because it kept them cooler. All I can say is that I and my business will go elsewhere.

    The middle of March I ordered a nice office chair from my local Office Depot store and paid cash. Upon returning home I noticed that they had overcharged me by $100 according to their website. I contacted them via chat and instead of just refunding the $100 they canceled my order. I then reordered online at the reduced price. Well they delivered both chairs and I had to have one returned. It has been several weeks now and they are still saying it could be up to 21 days before I get the refund. Beware of their refund tactics and use your card so you can just dispute the charge if they pull this on you.

    Ordered a chair for 171$, got charged 203$ for that. Asked them to rectify the order, and they cancelled the previous order and created the new order with the correct amount. Now my credit card has 171 + 203$ charge. Then they ship both the items to me, even after canceling one of them, but none of them reaches me ever, and the charge is still there. Then I get assured that I will get the credit in 5-7 days, but I won't get the chair. Also, I won't get the credit until chair reaches their warehouse which has no relation to whatsoever.

    I print shipping labels from a USB thumb drive. OfficeMax has raised the price more than once in the last 8 months. The most recent issue is that the USB ports on the 2 copy machines were disabled by OfficeMax staff. I asked why and was given no reason. I was then notified that from now on USB copies will require using the FedEx computer and printing onto a copy machine behind the counter which is not 12 cents a copy self-service but is now full service at 14 cents a page. I do all the work but the staff take the sheet out of the hopper and hand it to me and I pay more? My solution is to buy a new printer and stop going to OfficeMax for anything.

    While waiting for my Best Buy delivery I still need to print daily so I went to the FedEx Kinkos which is 6 blocks from OfficeMax and what a joy it was to go there! I simply put my credit card into the machine, choose the file to print and it prints. The best part is that I don't stand in line like at OfficeMax which typically takes 10-15 minutes on a typical day and much longer periodically. FedEx charges 12 cents for black and white copies and they don't discriminate between paper or digital USB source docs. Turns out I will save a lot of money by printing at home with my cheap 29.99 HP printer that comes with 2 ink cartridges which is a $26 value. Crazy right? And I like how professional the FedEx vibe is and I don't have to run the gauntlet of salespeople at OfficeMax which reminds me of going to the car dealership and being swarmed by salespeople.

    In both the online and Sunday ad, OfficeMax had a sale on a desk and hutch bundle that I was interested in buying. It said it was "in-stock". So, I went in with intent to purchase and bring home that day. When I got there the associate advised due to the combining of both stores; they no longer carry desks in-stock. However, "I could go online and have this bundle shipped straight to my door step in ONE DAY with free shipping!" I went home and straight to my computer to place the order just to find it was costing me $87 to have it shipped to my home. Ridiculous!!! This was YOUR COMPANY'S decision to no longer sale IN-STOCK even though you advertise as so, and I have to pay for that??? NO. So I called the associates at "MY STORE". They informed me that it actually has to be order by THEM to get the benefits and to complete the transaction I would have to go IN to process it.

    Completely frustrated by the enormous set back, I went against my own feelings for 1) I won't have to pay delivery fee's; and 2) GUARANTEED ONE DAY SHIPPING. I went into the store under the impression that it was going to be a quick in and out process since I had an account set up and had both item numbers prepared. The process took 1 full hour and 15 minutes. 45 minutes of me waiting was watching your associate try to figure out how he was going to get around his own company's delivery fee. Why does your employee not know this??! All the while another associate has already stepped outside to take 3 smoke breaks!!! The associate finally figured it out that he had to separate my one transaction into 2! We finally reached the check out. The elderly lady had rang up someone else's transaction that had paid already, however that happened!

    So, I had to correct her, then watch 2 other associates and herself try to figure out how to erase the mistake so they could proceed with my NOW two purchases! Seriously though, HOW??? When I was finally able to leave, I immediately felt this was a huge waste of time (I assure you it was. Keep reading.) I waited until the next day, and I did not receive my items. It wasn't until days later that I received what I was guaranteed the next day. When it finally arrived, the top of the desk had a gash in the middle where you would write, a dent in the corner, and all the legs had gashes and chips on them. I immediately called to advise I want a full refund and someone to come get the damaged items, they told me it would be two weeks until that could happen.

    They refused my offer to deliver it myself to the store and retrieve my refund, but instead inconvenienced me and have me store their damaged goods for when it's convenient for them to come pick up -THEN return my money. That means I'd have to wait 2 WEEKS TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE A NEW DESK. They didn't care. So I did exactly what they'd have me do and decided to keep it if they refund me a whopping $40 dollars to help ease the blow of being taking advantage of. My conclusion: Hands down, WORSE shopping experience. EVER. False advertising, false delivery status, damaged product, poor customer service knowledge on products/equipment/ and skills. That was my very last purchase made with OfficeMax and Office Depot. Take care.

    To date Office Max/Office Depot hasn't done anything. The only response, "It didn't happen." Please read my story and you decide... I've gone to this store numerous times in the last three years. One time two years ago I went in to have Calendars made with my husband's artwork. Of course this requires printing one page and then the next page has to be done opposite so the dates are not upside down on the Calendar. The woman helping me at the time made two mistakes. She originally gave me one of the mistakes back. I wouldn't have known there were two except another employee came back. When I started talking to him he says, "Oh sorry she made two mistakes." I said, "Can I please have the other mistake?" (Amazingly it was sitting nicely on a counter).

    On January 16, 2016 of this year I went there because I had business to attend to in that area. I instructed the man that was working to put my thumb drive in and make a copy of 1 document that was in a folder titled BC (Business Cards). He made the copy and sat that and my thumb drive on the counter. In walks this same woman from two years ago. I told the man that I wanted to check the copy against the perforation on the paper I was going to use and that I would not need any more copies unless I determined that my spacing was correct. I walked over to the window to see through. When I did this the man picked up my thumb drive and inserted it back into the computer. I walked back over to the counter and said, "I won't be needing any more copies today." He says, "Okay." I said, "Can I have my drive back?" He said, "Yeah in just a minute."

    He made no move to eject the disk. We just stood there for about 1-1 1/2 minutes watching a white screen on the computer. There wasn't much on the thumb drive but what was on there was proprietary artwork. I finally received my thumb drive back. I tried to contact them repeatedly. I was finally told to contact a different store Manager on Monday, January 25, 2016. I called him on Monday and explained what happened. He stated that he would call over and talk to the woman (who is the Impress Manager). He called me back within two to three minutes stating that he spoke with her and she stated that all professional protocol was followed that day. He also informed me that they have a very high "Code of Ethic" which keeps them from copying Intellectual Property that belongs to someone else.

    I stated that protocol was not followed as the man picked my thumb drive up and plugged it back into the computer without my authority. He said, "Well I don't know why he did that but they would not steal anything. I've known (the woman manager) for three years and she wouldn't do that and risk her job." So was my proprietary artwork stolen off my drive? If you see pictures like my Profile Picture and they don't come from AshleyArts.com than we will know.

The delivery persons I dealt with were absolutely nothing but unprofessional. I was advised my order would be delivered in Houston on January 20, 2016. Allegedly a guy unbeknownst to me said he appeared at my office not on January 20, 2016 (the day I was in my office and didn't receive a phone call, email or text from Office Depot or the delivery guy about not delivering on the 20th) but on Jan 21 @ 8:30 am. I was in traffic. He left a message on my VM and I called back and asked when it would be redelivered. This super ignorant and rude so called human being stated he couldn't tell me a date and time and he didn't care if I filed a complaint because he wasn't supposed to be delivering to me anyway.

    I gathered maybe he was delivering for a friend. Never received a call ever again from this ignorant subhuman being. Office Depot indicated when I spoke with them that someone would before 5 pm that day. It never happened. Later that night went to Office Depot and a young lady ensured me that no doubt between 1 pm and 5 pm January 22, I would receive it. Guess what no driver whom Office Depot is responsible for delivering my order ever showed up. Office Depot said they couldn't reach the driver or the company.

    I decided to cancel the order. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I purchased a better product from Staples and saved $100.00. To be warned is to be forearmed. I hope you don't have to wait for an entire day with no delivery and/or have you wait from early morning until late around 5-6 pm and if you step out to run an errand or use the restroom. You are ** out of luck. Office Depot you owe it to your customers to treat them with respect and hire more professional contractors to deliver your products. I will not be using Office Depot anymore in the future to deliver a product. They are horrible in that area.

    After multiple negative experiences at Office Max, have finally decided to write this review. Office Max is one of the worst run chains in America. Here's why. The personnel of every Office Max store I have been in exudes a "could care less" attitude. It reminds me of getting in line at the Post Office. I don't buy much there - blank CDs or DVDs, occasionally pencils or pens. The store is poorly organized. The signs don't help much and God forbid you are able to get the attention of anyone working there for help. My repeated experience has been that even if you do, you will likely get a less than satisfactory answer. You'll get something like a point across the store and "I think they're in the third aisle". So the first place you'll waste time is finding the product you want.

    The second issue you will find is getting checked out. No matter how slow the day or how few the customers are, it takes an inordinate amount of time to get checked out. I have no idea why this is, but I have noticed that the clerks will go out of their way to avoid waiting on you. Many employees are simply standing around, avoiding customers at any cost. Can't be a mistake - I have had the same experience multiple times in multiple Office Max locations.

    Today was the last straw. Tried to buy a pack of pencils. Got in line behind a return. After 5 minutes or so, the clerk advised myself and another customer to try another line. So myself and another customer moved. People got in line behind us. Another clerk took those people to another line where they were waited on. An argument ensued between the customer in front of me and the clerk. Manager came over and a squabble began.

    I moved lines again. This time, behind yet another return. I should say multiple returns. This went on another ten minutes. No manager or clerk offered to help. I finally put the pencils down and walked out and as I was leaving one of the disinterested clerks said sarcastically "Have a nice day". I'm all done as a customer of this wretched store and my advice to management is to raise your wages and get some decent employees and train them in how to wait on customers and expedite transactions. My guess is that will never happen.

    Placed an order for some office furniture. Was told by CS Dept it would be delivered Xmas Eve. Part of the order came UPS, the remaining coming via freight. Called 4 different times to make sure it was coming. Each time was told it was on the truck. As 5:00 pm on Xmas Eve approached I called again since the offices had closed. Was told the truck was on the way. Gave them 2 different phones number in case there was a problem. We went to the office and waited 2 1/2 hours. No truck. No delivery. No contact! Called today the CS Dept told me I could go to a store... re-purchase what they had (the box was damaged and probably defective and then they would issue a refund on the other order!) Are you kidding me!!! Why was I lied to on Christmas Eve and why can't they fix these problems!

    On 11/28/2015 my daughter and I went to the OfficeMax #6353 at 199 Boston Post Road West, Marlborough, MA in search of a desk and office chair. We arrived not too long after the location was opened that Saturday and was able to find something that really appealed to both of us as it had the size, color and price that we did not want to pass up. Around 11 am, we agreed to purchase and spoke with an associate. The associate told us that they had no more in stock and then looked online only to report that items 101095 & 101075 were not available anywhere.

    I asked if I could have a rain check so that I can get the desk and hutch bundle at this price once it was back in stock. I insisted that I should be able to get the item as advertised, especially since the signage was still on display inside the store (which meant to be that the item should still be available). I had gone so far with my insistence that I asked if there were someone else I could speak to about the matter. The associate indicated that there was no one. The associate spoke to the manager on duty through the headset only.

    The associate finally offered to have someone contact me in order to find the desk and hutch and had me fill out a form with my contact information. He indicated that the woman would be able to tell me if these items could be ordered but informed me that the sale would be over and that I might not be able to get the desk and hutch bundle at the price that was advertised.

    I filled out the form as requested and was informed that we would hear something within 24-48 business hours. My daughter and I left the store feeling quite disappointed. We had lunch at a restaurant in the same shopping center where it occurred to us that we did not search for the same desk in the other two colors and that we might still be successful.

    After eating, we went back to OfficeMax where we saw the same associate and asked him to search for the same desk & hutch bundle, but in the other colors (Honey Maple and Cherry). He performed his search on the computer and again indicated that they were not available. He said there was a strong possibility that this item would not restock once the supply had been depleted (which it had appeared to have done). My daughter then asked him if we could purchase the floor model. He indicated that they could not sell this particular floor model. I decided to check the display to see if they had at least taken down the signage since they knew that they were advertising an item they did not have. They had not. I waited for my phone call, but never received one.

    On 12/20/2015, my daughter and I returned to the OfficeMax in Marlborough to purchase the chair we decided on during our 11/28/2015 visit. We were able to find the chair without issue. After picking up desk organizers for the desk we purchased from another retailer online, we circled around the area where the desk that we really wanted/preferred was displayed only to find that it was still standing and that it was on sale again. I took a picture of the display to compare to the original display picture to compare item numbers to see if it was truly the same item or something similar. My comparison of the signage confirmed that the display was advertising the same desk a hutch that I had seen on 11/28/2015. Needless to say, I was very angry and felt cheated by OfficeMax. I not only find this experience to be unfair, but don't know why it is not illegal.

    Very disappointed re: online order from Office Depot on the 13th of Dec. No tracking # was given because sent by a different vendor. The Item was due on the 21st, did not arrive. I called and emailed customer service. I was told the item was delivered. I called again and I was told customer resolution would contact me, but they never did. I called again today and was told by someone in the Philippines the item could not be delivered by UPS and was returned to the vendor. They gave me another number and I was then told the item was sent to UPS in Orlando Florida (I live in state of WA) where it could not be delivered and was returned. So now the item, which cannot be ordered any place else for same low price, & which should have been delivered on Dec 21st, has been reordered with an expected delivery date of 1/4. Office Depot would not guarantee an expedited delivery date. POOR Customer Service OFFICE Depot.

    I ordered an office chair to be delivered. The delivery was supposed to be today. When I went to track my order, the website says my order has been delivered. It has not been delivered. A call to Customer Service was unsatisfactory. I was told the chair had been delivered to my front door and asked to check my front door area. I had already checked the area, plus the area by my garage and my back yard. I also had checked my neighbor's front door in case the chair had mistakenly been delivered there. No chair.

    Maria at Customer Service was not helpful, insisting the chair had been delivered. I've been home all day and have been sitting at my computer in front of my front window all day and no truck delivered anything. No chance for anyone to steal it if it hasn't been delivered in the first place and I was sitting in the window watching all day. Maria then tried to input delivery of another chair for tomorrow but said the system would not let her do that and that I should call back after 5pm if I had not yet received the chair. I pointed out that the tracking information on Office Depot's website states the chair has been delivered. But Maria then insisted it must still be on the truck and to call back after 5pm if I haven't received it by then. Huh?

    Additionally, when I first tried to order this chair I had been given a 20% coupon by a saleswoman in my local Office Depot that states very clearly it was for online use but the website would not take it. This same Maria could not help me but only offer me $30 off the chair. The coupon would have given me $42 off the chair. I finally got that resolved and did get the 20% off. That experience made me so angry that I almost didn't order the chair at all and should have been my first clue. But my husband really wanted this office chair so I bit the bullet and ordered it. I'd have picked it up myself but I'm an elderly woman and unable to lift it. I will never, ever order a product from Office Depot again. And I'm still hoping that somehow the chair is delivered otherwise I'll have to dispute the charge on my credit card.

    Ordered three items on 12/11/15. One arrived today 12/14/15. I called Office Depot and was told that all three items were delivered. I told them only one arrived. No way to track any of the boxes. I was given a reference number and was told someone would get back to me. I checked on their site a few hours later and saw that OD was issuing a return on one of the missing items. I called customer service again. They had no idea what was going on with the return. I asked about the third item. I was told that it was never shipped because it was out of stock. I told them that that was funny because according to customer service a few hours ago, the item was delivered today. It took this person over twenty minutes to discover that the item was being reshipped.

    She said, "I want to make really really sure". I responded, "Why, because you were only really sure earlier?" I could barely understand her and she had no idea what was going on. I asked if I was just suppose to sit on my hands waiting for the needed items to POSSIBLY show up? She responded, "Thank you for calling Office Depot. We appreciate your business". I told her that I would never shop at Office Depot again. So, I have no idea if the items are in stock, if they are being shipped, when they will arrive or if I'll ever see a refund on my credit card. Save yourself some headaches and shop elsewhere for your office supplies.

    I ordered a desk chair from Office Depot. I get an email saying that it was shipped out on November 17th. I track the package (note that there is no way to track the location of the package) and it says out for delivery. Two weeks go by with no update so I call customer service. They tell me they are sorry for the inconvenience but will look into it. Another week goes by with no update. I begin emailing them every other day, with the same "We will look into it" response. Still no update. It has now been three weeks and I finally get a reply saying the package was lost and they will credit the charges back to me, and recommend submit a new order. I go to check the online catalog and the item is currently out of stock. The communication all around was horrible, and now it will be several more weeks before I possibly get the chair.

    I bought a laptop from Office Depot two weeks ago. The mouse pad on the laptop does not work and I can't even get the laptop setup. Called customer service 8 times and they keep telling me that they have to reach the manufacturer so I can return it to them. They also said that I will receive a call in 4 hours. They never call back! I bought and paid Office Depot for the laptop, why do I have to go through all of this! They said that it is a special order and basically they don't stand by it if it is damaged, but they will take your money. If you are not buying office supplies do not use Office Depot. As of right now, I have a useless laptop and I am out $350.00. I buy a lot of supplies from them for work and now I have to find another supplier that will stand by what they sell!

Finally after two phone calls from the lady at the register for assistance and one of those calls to the manager I just said "give me my money back." Came home, called customer service, she put me on hold and then came back with the corporate number. She had to ask permission to give the number out!

    I traveled 1 hour round trip when I have an OfficeMax 5 minutes away, because this store was the only OfficeMax in the area with the computer I wanted and I received an email stating my online order was ready for pick up. When I arrived at the store, the order was not there for pick up. The manager offered me the floor model. I asked for a substitution, but he was only willing to give me an inferior model (4G instead of 8G as ordered). I finally agreed to take the floor model at a $50 discount. I specifically told him I did not want a service contract. At the register he charged me for a $79.99 service contract (the cost of the service contract for a $299 item.)

    I told him that the service contract for a $249.99 item, the reduced price, was $59.99. I would be willing to pay that, but not the higher priced service contract for a higher priced item. I was willing to walk out of the store spending $10 more than I had planned, but not $30. I told him I was going to call customer service, but it appears he called them first. They hung up three times when I called on my own phone and asked for a supervisor and didn't connect me to one when I asked them to do so from the store phone. The customer agent would not do anything about the situation.

I called customer service wasting my time for 40 minutes and they passed me to next day to change my pick up location and put note on my situation. I called costumer service the day after and they said they don't have item and they will send my money back.

    They messed up my Black Friday; I didn't use other sellers and lost all deals. They cannot do business like this. Their customer service just learned to say apologies every other sentence. They cannot speak English well and repeat words and sentences 10 times a minutes. How can I get the laptop or my money faster or penalty? I am completely dissatisfied about my business with them. And actually the reason of my complaint today is they have the item and change the price to $80 more. I have all snapshots, my order confirmation and the denied situation in my PayPal account.

    Office Depot now requires you to have an account with Veterans Advantage to get a 20% military discount. When I took a look at the website to check it out Veterans Advantage requires you to pay a minimum of $5 per month to belong. It includes more than just discounts but insurance as well. That is not a military discount - at the register that is a club. I have to say I am pretty disappointed in Office Depot. Go back to the standard military discount at the register and don't make us join a club we have to pay, not just once but monthly! Veteransadvantage.com

The lady printed 3 pictures on 8x10... one was fair and other two were garbage, pixelated and uneven ink spread and terrible color. She blamed it on the size of the prints... in fact SHE admitted that set the print PPI one at 72, one at 272. It was a huge industrial printer they used. The proper set should have been for an 8-10 cropped should have been about 2400x3000. She then lit into me about my photo skills, camera, memory and lens. NEVER go to OD for any photo printing EVER.

    We were very excited at my office to be ordering a nice Epson projector at a reasonable price from Office Depot online. We ordered the projector, but it never arrived. I called the 800 number and put in my order #, only to find the order was cancelled. So we called and asked why. They said the card was declined (despite us having a ridiculous limit), but we never received a decline notice. We thought the package was shipped. So we place the order again, this time over the phone, with credit card in hand. The salesperson, Jeremy, said it would 'absolutely' be shipped and that the card was processed. It was supposed to arrive today, but didn't. I called the number again. Again, it said the order was cancelled due to a declined card. Again, no notice of a declined card.

    We will no longer do business with Office Depot. Our card was charged just fine by Walmart at a $60 discount of the Office Depot price. AND they sent us tracking info, and a notification when the card was approved. Office Depot's customer service, for lack of a better word, sucks. I guess they really don't like money. They don't communicate and seem to have trouble with simple credit card transactions. Never again. We've wasted three weeks waiting for the projector which did impact our business.

    I had purchased a HP Pavilion laptop for $499.99 during Black Friday (full retail value was listed on receipt at $799.99). I had also purchased a premium protection plan with the laptop that was supposed to last for two years. Another computer was also purchased on the same day and with it a replacement plan. At the end of my two-year plan, two of my keys stopped working. I took it to Office Depot to have it serviced under the terms of the protection plan. I was told that I had to call their tech support line. On that line, the customer service member told me to send it in using the shipping label he was to send me. They would assess to see if it could be repaired. I did exactly that.

    I received an email on October 25 explaining that my claim had been opened. The next steps were listed as "Product details sent," "Resolution Determined" and "Claim Resolved." The next email I received was on October 28 stating that my claim had been resolved and that I was being issued a e-giftcard for $269.99, the value for the other computer that was on the receipt. I called customer service and they told me that my computer had been recycled. Thanks to an error on the customer service team, my computer was recycled and replaced when I had originally purchased a service plan. They did not check the model with the one listed on the receipt. Both models were different.

    I have documentation to back up everything that I am listing out here, and blatant abuses of their terms and services. The $120 protection plan that I purchased has amounted to me losing my computer and receiving only half of what I originally paid for it. As of yet, I have not received full compensation for the replacement of the computer nor reparation for destroying my previous model.

    I ordered a file cabinet on a Thursday for delivery to my office. It was an updated model of the same file cabinet I had ordered 2 years ago and the plan was to place it next to the other one, so I just ordered directly from the same place I had ordered previously. I received an initial notification that it would be delivered the following day (a Friday) but later received another email notification that it would be delivered on Monday between 8:30 and 5 pm. I alerted my building. On Saturday I received a phone call from the delivery service with the window of 1 pm to 5 pm. I gave my cell phone number to request a call and was told they would call 30 minutes prior to the delivery. I waited all day and at 5:15 pm I called customer service (the online tracking didn't work) and got routed to a call center that sounded like it was in the Philippines. They were very apologetic but truly had no idea what they were talking about.

    They said they had no way to call the delivery service, but would send a message and told me the delivery for sure would take place Tuesday morning (I later found out they never apparently contacted the delivery service). I got a missed call from the delivery person at 5:55 that they were going to deliver it (but I was gone and the building was closed for the day anyway.) On Tuesday it didn't arrive either, so I called again and was told it would arrive on Wednesday. It didn't arrive Wednesday either so I called again and again had a conversation with a very polite person from the Philippines. I asked to speak to a supervisor who called the delivery service and reported that they had reported I had not been there during the Monday delivery window and that there has never been a delivery scheduled after that. They agreed to reschedule for Friday and said it would be sometime Friday.

    I explained that I had another commitment on Friday morning and so it needed to be the afternoon which didn't seem unreasonable since I had already spent 3 days waiting for it. They said they couldn't usually promise a particular window but agreed in light of my troubles to specify it for the afternoon and to refund the $49 delivery fee. On Thursday I got a call to my home phone (despite the fact that every time I spoke to them I gave my cell phone number) and they told me they planned to deliver it Friday morning. I explained that I could not be there Friday morning and that I had been promised a Friday afternoon delivery time because of my repeated troubles.

    They said there was no note of such and they would only reschedule the delivery for the following week. In a fit of rage I rashly cancelled the delivery. I then went online to Staples (it was Thursday again) and found the same file cabinet for $200 less and free delivery. So I ordered it and it arrived this afternoon at 1:55 pm (between my patients).

    In August, 2015, Office Depot sent me an email special on copy paper and I ordered (4) cases online and paid with a charge card. The order detail showed the paper will be delivered the next day. Next day came...no paper. I called ask where is the paper...it is scheduled to be delivered next day..next day no paper. Next week still no paper. I received another email special on copy paper and this time I ordered (5) cases and paid with a charge card. Again the order detail shows delivery the next day and as before, no paper. A week later both orders show up and I politely refused the paper.

    I called and requested credit for both orders. I was given (2) cancellation numbers. The credit did not appear on my August nor September credit card statement. On the 13th of October, I called to ask when will I receive credit for the paper not accepted. I was told that the paper was delivered. (Really) After a brief debate and their review, again credit was issued for both orders. Here we go again. On October 1, 2015 another emailed copy paper special and I ordered (5) cases and paid for it. The order detail showed delivery next day. Next day no paper. Our store closed and the entire staff was off on vacation for one week and while on vacation another email came and I ordered another (5) cases and paid for it.

    Delivery scheduled for the first day back on the job. Monday came. No paper. Called and the paper should be out that day Tuesday. Still no paper. Wednesday afternoon the delivery person came through the door with (2) cases of paper and said he forgot the rest. I called Office Depot HQ and left a message and someone by the name of Dell ** called back late that afternoon and apologized. After explaining to her how disappointed I was with their service she said she would look into it. The next morning the same driver showed up with (3) cases of paper and said he would be back with the rest. Mark you, the order is for (5) cases of paper. Delivery not as promised and being brought in by piecemeal. There is still (5) more cases of paper due (10) was ordered. The next day the driver shows up with (3) cases of paper. Where is the remaining (2). He don't know.

    After (3) unreturned phone calls, over days, to Ms. **, at Office Depot HQ, she finally called back and left a message on my answering machine requesting information about credits she saw on my account for 2-different amounts (the credit that should have been issued back in August) nothing about the current situation at hand. Where is the remaining (2) cases of paper? As of writing of this review no paper no response from their HQ person.

    With the above-stated level of service, I do not see how Office Depot can maintain a good relationship with their customers if others are receiving the same level of service. Years ago, next day meant next day guaranteed. Now it appears they do not care neither in service or response. I have now blocked the Office Depot emails and have no reason to order or visit the retail stores. We have been in business for 32 years now and if I treated my customers like that, my doors would be closed. Maybe that is their objective. Sorry to be so long-winded but it really happened.

    The past two times I have ordered supplies for my company, the order has been one item short. There has been no explanation, no contact by Office Depot, and I had to contact Customer Service and ask where the rest of my orders were. The first time, a chair mat did not arrive, and when I called to ask why, the rep at OD determined that it was left on the truck. She told me that I had to call the delivery company and report it. I replied that I would NOT do this... it was Office Depot who contracted with the trucking co. and they could fix it all and send me the item.

    Finally, after about 5 days, I did receive the mat. This time, 5 out of the 6 items I ordered were on the truck, and the driver told me that the ream of copy paper was not in the order (it was on the delivery form). I used the live chat feature for OD this time, and the rep said she has processed re-delivery and the box should arrive tomorrow. We shall see. I'm wondering if these problems are a result of the merger of OfficeMax and Office Depot. I think I will looking for a new supplier.

    If only I would have read these reviews prior to making my order, I wouldn't have made an online purchase at all. Upon discovering these countless negative reviews after placing my order, I figured heck, maybe these people got unlucky and it probably won't happen to me. Do not order anything via website, you will definitely not be getting the item anywhere near the estimated delivery date, nor will you be getting any phone call from their "3rd party shipping provider" to give you a delivery window. Since the delivered item requires a signature, this means you might as well spend the next month of your life sitting at home waiting for your item if you don't want it sent back to the shipper and be in limbo for the next 6 months.

    If the store has the item in stock at your local branch, PLEASE heed my advice and just buy it in the store. DO NOT purchase anything from their online system, you will surely regret doing so. IF YOU HAVE NO CHOICE, use either PayPal or a credit card so that you can easily file a dispute in the event your item never shows up. Which believe it or not, is highly likely.

    So I purchased a Lenovo desktop from Office Depot April 15, 2015, waiting for my business. While waiting for my shop remodeling was done, I finally opened my computer to set it up the monitor fell down and cracked. I called on Sept. 5, 2015 about my PC, I was told they send me a box to ship to them for repair. I could not register online so I called instead. As of today, it's been a month still no response, so I called again, now I was told they will not send me a box. They told me that my claim will not be accepted due to mishandling now. So now my protection plan will not be honored, after a month of run around from Office Depot assurance company.

    As of today, I will not purchase another item from them or protection, they are only taking people for their money. Now, I have contacted the BBB and now General Attorney for fraudulent practice to consumers. I would not waste my money a company who don't honor the consumer or customers who are loyal customers. Very disappointed after Vicki from the office contact me about the issue and still action. I contact her today and no response from her office either. So disappointed with customer service and upper authorities who say they will take care of the whole thing.

    I called to place an order for cases of paper on the first day a sale was advertised. I was told the paper was on back order. The representative said I would receive an email confirmation of the order and would be notified when the items were in stock and to be delivered. I received the email, but it did not reflect the sale price; the amount to be charged was double the amount I was given at the time of purchase. I called in and was told there is a coupon that "should" be added after the item was actually received. I was also told that sometimes the coupon does not get added, but that they would issue a credit if I called to inform them should this happen. I call to check the status approximately 1 week later and was told they were just not sure of an estimated date the item would be in stock. This happened a couple of times, but I was okay with the wait.

    At the point I was informed the paper would be delivered, I was given a date we were to receive the delivery on or before, and the confirmation email showed the amount of the purchase made. Paper never came. I waited the entire week. No paper, no call, no email. I called the following week to check the order status and was told the paper was delivered. It was not. I was told they had no idea what happened. I was told a message would be escalated to the appropriate department to have the issue resolved, and I was told to expect a call within 4 hours. No call, no email. I call again and am told they are not sure what happened. I am told a message someone from a local store would be contacting me by phone or email to have the paper re-delivered. Nothing.

    At the time of the NEXT call to them, I am told there are no options available but to credit us. After waiting, repeated calls, being placed on hold countless times, speaking to numerous representatives and supervisors, and wasting hours, I am told they are not sure what happened and they can only issue a credit for the purchase. I ask to pick up the paper at a store since the purchase was already made, and we have waited so long. I am told No, this was not possible until I get angry. THEN, after being placed on hold again, the supervisor tells me she has contacted a local store, gives me the store address, tells me she confirmed with the store that they have the cases of paper available for pick-up, and that she would be calling me the next day as soon as she came in, to be sure everything was set up.

    She said the time there, which was eastern time, was near the end of the business day and the department she needed to reach was closed. Of course, I received no call. I call again and am told there is no documentation of the prior day's conversation, they have no idea what supervisor I spoke to because they have many call centers, and there is nothing they can do to help. I am told the situation would be escalated, and someone would contact me within 4 hours. I am so disappointed.

    On 8/31 I ordered the Workpro Task chair in BLACK. Because it wouldn't fit in my car, I requested it be delivered to my home. I was told it would be delivered on 9/1. For reasons I will not divulge here, I forgot all about the chair until 9/10 when I realized it was never delivered. I checked online and saw that it was labeled as delivered. I chatted with customer service and was told someone would call me on 9/11. No one called. On the night of 9/11 I called customer service. They could not find a signature nor a delivery company assigned to my order. They refunded 20% of my purchase price for my aggravation and sent out a new one.

    On 9/14, the delivery arrived. After the truck left I realized the chair that was delivered was BLUE. I called customer service and was told that the replacement would be delivered to me for an "even exchange" on 9/16. 9/16 came and went. I called on 9/17 and was told that the replacement was picked up from Office Depot on 9/16 but that customer service could not tell me when it would be delivered to me. On 9/18 my husband received a call from the delivery company stating that our replacement would be delivered in the next "2 to 7 business days", but that they would call prior to delivery. On 9/24 still no chair. I called customer service and was told that our replacement delivery was "deleted due to computer error" but the rep refused to tell me when that happened. At this point I requested to speak with a supervisor. After waiting on hold for over 20 minutes I finally agreed to a call back.

    Today is 9/27 and I am still waiting. This has been going on for 26 days! I live approximately 1-1/2 hours from the nearest OfficeMax and it could have been walked to my home in this time. At this point, I have requested an additional 40% refund of my purchase price to me for my abused patience, which this company does not deserve any longer. (That would be an additional $80 refunded to me). I will be exchanging this chair with the proper one IN STORE. It is worth it to me to rent a larger vehicle to end this transaction with this company. This has been the worst shopping experience I have ever had with any company. There is no way they can fix this. There is no way I will ever spend my hard earned money at any of their stores again. As I said, their nearest store is 1-1/2 hours from my home, but so is Staples.

    I purchased office furniture on September 12, 2015 from Office Depot. I have yet to receive my purchase or a phone call. I have placed several phone calls to customer service and no one knows where my order is. All they can tell me is the merchandise has left the warehouse and it has been two weeks since that was updated on their system. The location of this warehouse is about 30 miles from my house. I do not understand why I am going into week three with no merchandise.

    To top it off, I have paid for this level of service. I expect to be told when my furniture would be delivered at the time of purchase. What I got was an associate who asked when I would like it to be delivered within the range of dates provided and then no delivery or communication on their part. I was given a $20 credit for this issue. My problem is it cost me more than that to have a day off from work to wait for a delivery that never gets delivered. Buyer beware, if you use the delivery system in place, who knows when your delivery will arrive. Three weeks and still counting.

    I ordered merchandise from Officedepot.com that failed to perform as advertised. I tried returning it to the store, but they said I would have to contact online customer service, because it was not carried in the store. They put me in touch with that department and the representative was very polite and provided me with a Return Authorization Number. He said that it would be picked up at my house within 2 to 5 business days. This was on September 2. Those days came and went and I have placed three additional calls to customer service. In each case it was "escalated". The department in my state returned my call the next day and confirmed that the package would be picked up. In one case I was told it would be picked up the next day.

    It is now 20 days later and it is still not picked up. I believe that although Office Depot agreed to the return, they are hoping that I will forget about it because of the hassle in getting it picked up. I understand that UPS is supposed to pick it up. If they wanted to serve the customer, they would just email me a return label and let me take it to their store, since Office Depot is a UPS pickup point.

    Sept 18, 2015 - A week ago we ordered 4 pieces of office furniture from Office Depot. On Tuesday the chair was delivered. The sales person said no one needed to be home to sign for the furniture... it would be dropped at our door. I finally called on Wednesday and was clued in that there was attempt to deliver but with no one to sign it was returned. I gave them verbal approval for delivery without a signature. Thursday no delivery, and today, Friday, after several conversations with their customer service dept. I was told that it would be delivered Monday.

    I have initiated 9 phone calls with Office Depot, most with people who I could not understand and finally this evening a supervisor. She assured me that they would "escalate" the service. Most of the customer service agents I talked to could not furnish me with a delivery company, a tracking #, or any expected time of delivery. I was promised a phone call in return many times but at this time have had zero initiated by the local store or their customer service department or the delivery company. They have my order #, my phone number, and my email. The behavior of this company is inexcusable in this age of very capable technology. I predict they will be out of business in less than a year and, in my humble opinion, they deserve to be. They definitely need to be turned into the Better Business Bureau according to the testimonies of the many here recorded.

    Updated review: Sept. 28, 2015

    The store manager called me and said that after talking with both employees and that they had both told me they would honor the coupon, that he would be glad to adjust my ticket.

    The coupon I tried to use was a set dollar amount off any clearance computer (which the computer I purchased was on clearance).

    Original Review: Sept. 17, 2015

    Today is the reason why big stores should not merge, they no longer have to be nice - there is no competition. In the past, when I went to Office Depot, I would take coupons, ads, etc from either Staples and OfficeMax, and they would gladly match the price or honor the coupon. Office Depot has now merged with OfficeMax so I guess they think they no longer have to play nice. The dreaded day came yesterday - my computer died and no, I did not have everything backed up. So, after talking to my computer guy we came to the conclusion to go ahead and get another computer and he told me that HP was a good brand.

    So, off shopping I go. Since I had always gone (for the past 3 computers) to the Office Depot in Suwanee, that is where I went. I also had a "coupon" that I downloaded from Staples that was for $100 off an in-store purchase of any clearance computer of $199 or more (the one I picked out was $599). I asked my sales person if they would accept a coupon from Staples and he said "Yes" - no hesitation. He then called someone else to get the computer and the guy came and did his little wand and said yes they have one, and I told him about the coupon. He said he didn't know, but he said if they could not he should have an email. He came back out and brought the computer and said that while he could not find anything in his email about not accepting this coupon, but then of course he called his manager at home, and no go from the manager... Duh, he has a customer, why would he accept a coupon?

    I then called Office Depot Customer Service. "BJ" said that they don't accept coupons online, but some stores still accept them. She would do an accommodation if I would place the order with her. Why would I do that? I already had it in my house, in the box, but in the house. At this point, I'm seriously rethinking doing any further business with Office Depot. Wake up OD, you still need to take care of your established customers!!!

    On June 10, 2015 I purchased items at an Office Depot store in San Diego, they did not have a couple items I needed in stock, so I was told I had to order them online from Office Depot. They placed the order and we received the items later by mail, but 2 of the 3 items were not what we requested. I tried to return them in person at the same Office Depot and was told they don't handle any returns for online items. She refused to help me and would not process the return. I had the receipt, the items were in their original packaging and sealed. The Office Depot employees were most unhelpful, dismissive and argued with me that they don't carry that brand, when in fact I just bought it there.

    Then I tried to return the items by phone by calling 1-800-463-3768 on 8-24-15. Office Depot customer service instructed me to repackage the items, label it for the carrier and said the items would be picked up on 8-25. No one came, so I called again on 8-26, 8-31, and 9-9. It is 9-15 today and the package is still waiting to be picked up. I followed Office Depot's return instructions and I simply want the company to give me my money back. Office Depot clearly demonstrated that it does not value customer satisfaction and so they should not expect repeat business. Office Depot keeps getting bigger but certainly no better.

I was told that the carrier would arrive on 8/21 to pick up my package, but they did not. I called in and was told by a Customer Service representative that they were unable to contact the carrier but that my case had been escalated and they would be returning my call. My call was not returned. I called back and explained the situation, an agent apologized and said they had escalated this to "the highest levels" and my call would be returned. It was not returned.

    A week later I called and demanded to speak to a supervisor. He could not contact the carrier, "escalated the case", and said that he had spoken with the billing department and that my money would be returned since this was not my fault. He said they would be calling me back by the end of the day with more information on next steps. I explained to the supervisor that multiple agents had made that promise and I had never received a call. He assured me that if the resolution department did not call me back that he would call me personally. He did not call me back.

    I spoke to another supervisor today. After waiting for an hour she again called the carrier and was unable to connect with them. She said that the original supervisor had lied and that my money would not be returned to me until they got the package. She said she knew this had already been escalated multiple time without result - but all she could do was escalate this again to her "resolution department". I believe that this is extraordinarily unethical - I paid a significant amount of money for broken furniture and now it appears that I have no way to return it. I have an Office Depot a few miles down the street but I am unable to return these items in the store myself because the "systems are different". I truly hope NO ONE buys anything from this company and has to go through what I'm dealing with.

    In my life of 54 years I had never seen such a company or corporation badly disorganized. Every store has specific prices. There are papers that are thicker than regular (65 lb package). I have bought it for six different prices in six stores. Something very funny is that suppose I have a paper having image of a business card, if they want to copy it on 10 papers it must be 8 times 13 = 1.04 $ total plus tax but in some of these stores they say because it is the business card you must pay 16.99$. Even in the specific store that I designed and paid fully (1201 N Central Expy, Plano, TX 75075) I must pay 16.99 to print 10 papers.

    It is interesting. It depends on the specific employee who works there. Some employees accept one Dollar, the others say 17$!!! Although the most reason for the problem of this store is the retaliative-discriminative attitude of its manager (I will follow it up separately) but totally there is a very severe disorganization along with certain actions of some employees and managers that is going to bring this very good stores down.

    Believe or not, for any action I need to go specific store to have the logic prices. I shall add one of the managers of the store located in Forest on and Josey in Dallas (the lady who is skinny) is very nice. There is an employee who works in store 901 N central Expressway. She is working there for several years and I really accept her as a very talented and generous person. Unfortunately forgot her name but will tell you later. In fact I have not seen more than 8 stores to judge generally but the managers in Plano would cause problem for you. I wish you consider this.

    2. Excessive wait times to check out due to a shortage of cashiers.
    3. Overall attitude of employees that demonstrate a lack of friendliness or desire to assist customers.

    4. Excessive hold times trying to communicate with customer service by phone (20 minutes).

    Difficulty in getting exchange pick-up and delivery, multiple phone calls, no response. The issue started with a phone call to exchange a damaged item. A pick-up of the old item and drop off of a new one was processed on 7/25 and scheduled for 7/29. Someone was supposed to call the day before to give a 2-hour window. No call, and no pick up or delivery took place. I called and inquired and was escalated to the customer service team. Then received another call for another delivery day, and again no pick up or delivery took place. Then called again and was told to wait until 5 and that the item is going to be delivered that day. I waited at home and it did not happen. Then called again, and was told to wait until 7 because delivery can be delayed, and sure enough nothing happened.

    Then called again, and I was told delivery will happen the next day, and that I should leave the damaged item on my porch and they will let the drivers know to pick up and leave the new item at the porch. Did not happen. Then called again, and was told they will check with the driver but the driver went home already, so wait until the next day and someone will call me in 4 business hours to schedule a delivery (and was given a confirmation number for the request). Of course no one called, and I returned home and no pick up or delivery was made. Then I called again, and was told that the item was delivered already 2 days ago and was signed for my DRLS and was left on my porch. Of course, there is no DRLS or anyone else in my household, and the damaged item is still on the porch, and no delivery was made.

    Now, I have been on hold for exactly 33 minutes (because the supervisors are in a meeting and don't care I guess... Still on hold as I type. Oh now after over 40 minutes she hung up. Must be a way to deal with things at Office Depot!!! Problem not resolved. What I need to know - Does this company have any degree of self-respect? How shameful. How can they treat customers like that? The damaged item contains a big piece of glass, and as such is hazardous if mishandled, and is sitting for days distorting my front porch. Not to mention I still do not have my desk as I still did not received my item.

    Compare this to receiving a new item, No problem, but when it comes to exchange they make you go through all this. And lying to say they delivered it is another story that contradicts itself. If it was signed for by someone, then how come they claim it was left on the porch? If truly delivered, then how come they did not pick up the damaged item? And when I asked about where they delivered it and who is DRLS they said they don't know!!!

Also got an email to tell them the reason of my return. Replied back immediately then got another email saying they are waiting to get approval from the vendor. Once they will receive an approval item will be picked up and money will be refunded within 7-10 business days.

Got in touch with customer service to correct the address. Okay now item has been picked up on Friday 7/17 and I tracked the shipment was delivered to vendor on Monday 7/20.

    I am a teacher. I like sales that allow me to buy school supplies for my classroom, and for my students. Today, I went to OfficeMax with a list of sale items from Sunday's circular to buy. Right at the entry doorway, there was a big sign saying that OfficeMax loves teachers. As I filled my basket with notebooks, I asked a worker if there was a certain amount I could buy. He said, "Three." Three? Are you kidding me? That does NOT show love of a teacher. I put all of the items back and left the store, headed for Staples.

    I recently purchased 2 REALLY USEFUL BOXES online Friday and they were to be delivered yesterday, I went online and was shocked to see that they were delivered but not here. Where they were supposed to go? The lady at Office Depot told me that somebody signed for them. Nobody here, I really was waiting for these boxes for my Hallmark ornaments. I asked who was the carrier and she told me some company that I never hear of before. It was NOT post office, UPS, FedEx, DHL or anything that I have ever hear of. I think the email said Eagle. Never heard of that.

    Bought a desk at Office Depot and since it was not in stock they told me they could have it delivered the next day. Great. It was indeed delivered the next day, but the delivery person did not call as they told me they were. Liked the desk so much I ordered a second one for my home office, again for next day delivery. Knowing they may not call, I stayed home all day. No delivery, no phone call. Second day same scenario. I called and was instructed it would be there by 5 PM the next day and we would receive a phone call. Stayed home all day once again. No delivery. Called the next morning and was told the same thing again. Third day, same scenario.

    Called again this morning and basically had to argue with the customer service person in order to talk to a supervisor. After being on hold for what felt like forever, frustration rising... The Supervisor gave me the same speech, only this time saying it would be here on Monday. So unprofessional, no follow through, no accountability to try and fix the situation. I have now lost more money in waiting for this desk than I spent on both desks combined. My guess is that come Monday it will be the same scenario. Horrible, horrible delivery service and customer service not much better. I spent close to 2K in Office Depot that day on furniture, computers and items. It's the last dollar I will ever spend with them.

    On July 18, 2015, my brother purchased a HP ink twin pack at the Office Depot located at 38th Ave.& 4th St. N., Saint Petersburg, FL. The total cost with tax was $33.16. I had given him my $20 Office Depot gift card to use for the purchase. He asked the cashier if he should run the gift card through the machine. She said "no", that she would take care of it. Since the cashier did not hand him the receipt but instead put it in his bag, he didn't notice until we got home that the cashier had not taken the $20 gift card off of the purchase. She instead indicated that she gave him $20 cash. We went back to the store and talked to the manager who counted the cash drawer saying it showed that she gave him $20 back and he added that he watched the video while in the back showing that she gave him the money. Both the cashier and the manager were lying. Needless to say we will never shop at Office Depot again!!

    I purchased a desk for my son at Office Depot in Knightdale, NC. The sales lady, Kim, did not know how to ring up the purchase, needed help from someone else (Wes) and kept saying, "I'm so sorry for your wait". It took a long time to buy that desk, but finally we were set. Then, I asked when it would be delivered. She said tomorrow between 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Well, we waited - nothing. Called 800 number and they said it would be delivered tomorrow between 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Nothing again. Called this morning and lady said it would be sometime next week. They would call me - don't worry. I wish they would have told me this when I purchased the desk that it would be delivered sometime next week. I would have been okay with that. But, to keep jerking me around is crazy. I will never shop there again.

    I was very dissatisfied with the customer service that I received from OfficeMax store #6483 today. I emailed a document to the store, all I requested was to increase the fonts on the document keeping it on an 8x14 and laminate it. I was extremely shocked when I was told it could not be done unless I went to a larger paper size. The reason that I'm shocked and disappointed is I know that it could be done because it's been done before. I am writing a complaint because it has happened several times where the employees are not helpful and never go the extra mile to provide quality customer service. I visited FedEx office and they got the job done in five minutes. Excellent customer service. I was completely satisfied when I left FedEx office and will continue to do business with them.

    I bought a laptop from Office Depot and unfortunately it was a piece of junk so I was reimburse for it since I had the protection plan on it. My problem is I have the Office Depot reimbursement card they send me to buy another one from the same store but ever since I cannot find a laptop that fits my needs because when you go to the Office Depot website the ones I found are either sold out or discontinue. So finally I found a Samsung that I really like so I called to order it and I was told I can't used my reimbursement Office Depot card to order an item that's on back order. If that's the case why pay for the protection plan? I think Office Depot is just full of it. Will not be buying anything from them in the future. Am just sick of Office Depot.

    Few weeks ago, my wife took in our desktop computer to Office Depot to get it fixed by their technicians. The technician called me later and asked what was wrong and what needed to be fixed. I told him, it needed to be cleaned out, because, it was full of viruses plus I wanted him to give it a full tune up. Few days later, I got a call from the tech, that the computer was ready to go. But when I brought the computer home and turned it on it ran like crap. It was like, if the damn technician didn't do jack crap to it.

    I took it back and told them how disappointed I was, but, the tech told me that he'll take care of the problem.

    I'm very disappointed with OD. I place an order monthly and it is split into multiple deliveries, usually three. I understand the reason for that, but then those three deliveries are further split with various delivery dates and later OD deletes one of them completely. (This has happened twice.) I then have to call to order the items they deleted and it turns into an hour long ordeal. Having to follow-up continually on my orders and having to monitor multiple delivery dates to make certain everything ordered is received is ridiculous. It is becoming a full time job to use OD for office supplies. It's not worth it. What the bleep happened???

    I purchased a brand new Cannon laser all in one copier/printer/FAX machine from Office Depot in Midlothian, Virginia. At the time of purchase they sold me an extended warranty through a 2nd party unknown to me. The machine failed and I called to obtain a repair. After much back and forth they asked me to send them copies of the policy and receipts and the laser cartridge to process the claim. That was in December of 2014! They approved the claim and said a card "store credit" was on the way and to discard the machine.

    After 3 months passed and many calls they asked for more information? No they are demanding the original receipt which was printed (by them) on thermal paper and has faded. They will not process the claim even considering I registered the machine at the time of purchase. They even have the information by pulling up my frequent customer card used during the purchase. I will NEVER deal with this company again for so much as a paper clip! Signed, One unhappy customer in Richmond, Virginia!

    I had purchased 6 boxes self laminating name labels (Office Depot brand 100ct), 3 boxes of Avery self adhesive name labels, 2 storage clip boards & 2 boxes of counterfeit detecting pens from the store in Los Angeles, CA on 6/3/2015. It was for an event my company was hosting. I paid cash because it was a last minute purchase before door open. I ended up with 1 box of counterfeit detection pens & 2 boxes of self laminating labels left by 6/10/2015. I went to the store in the morning, unhappy. My employee misplaced the receipt for the items purchased. I was informed that I would get store credit (which is perfectly fine...) but at the lowest price in the system or 50% of the retail value of the items. I wasn't satisfied with this answer so I told the cashier I'd have my employees look for it more. About 45 mins before store closing, I sent my employee back with the items left, with no luck finding this receipt.

    The items were 39.99 & 22.99 x2. He got a total of $37 in merchandise credit refunded onto a gift card. I'm livid at this point. That's not even the price of 1 item! I feel as if this company is taking advantage of consumers who aren't the most organized, and possibly stereotype the customer who is having the issue at hand. Not everyone is a return addict, nor is a tattooed person (mind you my employee is heavily tattooed, nothing offensive). These employees I have are extremely educated, and polite.

    While this Office Depot employee unkempt, shirt dirty & had the vocabulary and communication skills of a 6 year old burn out. The manager of the store was rude, inconsistent with their return policy, clearly not of the fair corporate policy given online & posted in store, and needed to possibly be trained again in customer service etiquette. Don't rip off your consumers for misplacing a receipt for your overpriced office supplies, and pay more attention to your corporate guidelines & fair practices because that may be the key to your company's demise! From now on, my company will be using Staples.

    Contacted customer service to cancel an order, was told it was already being delivered. They issued a return and stated it would be picked up that afternoon. I asked them to send me the return shipping label to put onto the package and was told the driver would have the paperwork. The driver did not have any paperwork and knew nothing about it. Called again the next morning with same request, company refused to send me copy of paperwork again insisting driver would have the return pick-up paperwork.

    It is now six days out and I once again spent over an hour and a half on the phone speaking with two supervisors and a manager. Was told I only needed to put the RMA number on the package and the driver had the pick-up paperwork. The driver did not have any paperwork. Again called Office Depot and requested to speak with the manager ** who I had spoke with earlier, was told I could not speak with a supervisor or manager. I was told if I wanted a credit on the item I had to return the chair to the store myself. This chair weighs more than I do and is too large and bulky to even fit into my vehicle. Tried calling the corporate office to file a complaint and was put on hold for five minutes then received a voice mail stating they would return the call within 48 hours. Horrible customer service.

He made some mistakes and it took about 20 minutes but they placed the order above and I paid for it. On the way home my husband mentioned that they kept saying "blue" instead of "black" for the hard drive.

    So, when I got home I decided I had better check my receipt. It was in fact wrong. I called the 800 number and the item in your computer is listed at a price of over $1,700 dollars. He said because of this he could not place the order for the correct item until a supervisor could correct your web error. I have spend over 3 hours on this and I still do not have an order or a hard drive coming. Finally after two more days, and it was a price match, it was suppose to be here on June 1.

    I attempted recently to order a specific office chair from Office Depot/Office Max in Juneau, AK. I found the chair on their website but wanted to order it for delivery to their store. Their store personnel first told me that they were in the middle of a system switch because of the combining of the two corporations and that if I came back in a week they would be able to help me. I got the same story a week later. I waited two more weeks before trying again. This time I was told that it would be very difficult for them to order it because their system wasn't functioning properly yet, and that it would be quicker and easier (for them) for me to order it online and have it delivered to the store for pickup. I really wanted the chair so I agreed.

    I attempted to order it online but got the message that it was out of stock for online delivery. I went back to the store and explained the problem and got a different story from them this time - it wasn't difficult for them to order it, it was impossible. I then called one of the Anchorage stores who also couldn't help, and they referred me to the main Anchorage store. That store assured me that it would be no problem, and they took all my order information, including my credit card number and billing information.

    Today, a day later, I got an email from them saying my item cannot be ordered because it's out of stock. A call to them revealed that it is not out of stock but in fact has NEVER BEEN IN STOCK. Apparently it is a new item that they have not received and they have no idea when they will get it. I checked half a dozen of their other ergonomic chairs and they, also, were all out of stock. Seems that their online shelves are stocked as poorly as their stores, which, at least in Juneau, have many empty shelves and pegs. I was unable to even purchase large bulldog clips there yesterday. I won't be going there again.

    I'm glad to know that I am not the only OD consumer having issues with customer service (seems to be MUCH worse the past few months). Online ordering used to be SO easy for custom products, especially for re-orders that are identical. When they don't show up as ordered the CSR's don't even offer to correct the order and resend the product. I was on the phone 3 different occasions and they just don't get it. It's pretty much the same "lame" response no matter what the issue is. SORRY OD, but the India connection is not doing you any favors!

    We have been ordering business checks from Office Depot for about 7 or 8 years now. Never had a problem until the last 2 orders. All of a sudden they put carbons in the checks - each order is for 2,000 checks. So when reordering this last time I very largely wrote on the reorder slip - NO CARBONS, corrected the name of the person whose name the order was in, and corrected the e-mail address. The order came with carbons (after 8 years of no carbons), the wrong name, and wrong e-mail address. I called the customer service line. The automated voice doesn't understand what business checks are and doesn't want to send you to "an agent" until you start yelling. The customer service center must be overseas. What happened to hiring Americans? Target does the same thing as well. Of course the center I need to talk to is closed. I had to repeat my phone number 4 times.

    The girl said something about the defective item. I just want someone to take out 2,000 carbons - that I specifically wrote boldly that I didn't want. What has happened to Office Depot? I am so frustrated right now as we write 700 checks at a time and the carbons have to come out first. It is time consuming and could have easily been avoided if someone would have taken the time to read the order sheet!!!

Asked them if I was talking with a person in the USA as requested... and twice they hung up.

    Sent an e-mail to customer service, told me AGAIN, it would be 3-5 business days before I received my credit... and followed up with a survey of how good/bad the email rep handled my problems. SHE DIDN'T... she just regurgitated what everyone else had been saying over the phone the past two weeks. I'm a very patient individual when it comes to understanding problems can and do occur over the course of business. But this experience is a JOKE!!!

    I never received the order because it was intercepted... they proceeded to tell me the order was "lost" on the return to the warehouse. They turned their problem of not cancelling my order promptly into MY PROBLEM. So, here I sit, 18 days after I bought in store and cancelled my online order, with no refund of $537.

    Office depot has gone downhill in their customer service. In the last two week I have stopped by my local store. The first time I was looking for a product and was not acknowledged or asked if I need assistance finding anything. I ended up going to another store to find what I needed. And the second time I needed a document printed in a hurry. There was only one person working in the copy center which is understandable because it was early morning. However, another employee stepped in to do something and as she walked out she said rudely, "I would help you, but I don't work in this area". I was put off by that and would encourage your employees to be more welcoming to customers when they are waiting for assistance. And potentially train them to work in all areas in order to help one another.

    I visited Office Depot in Calhoun ,Ga 30701 on Saturday March 21 to mail a phone UPS to Wal-Mart. When I asked them to go to my email address to print the label that Wal-Mart customer service had sent to my home computer but I don't have a printer so the lady said they would charge small fee. After receiving the label I was told that I would need to purchase a box so I did that which was $1.99 plus tax then they just stuck plastic bags and taped it. She had said the label print out would be 79 cents and the shipping was pre-paid by Wal-Mart. So I assumed that I would owe about 3 or 4 dollars with tax but they charged me $14.02. I paid it but as far as Office Depot they will never get a package to be mailed off. I will use PACmail or post office or FedEx. This was my first bad experience there but don't intend to do business with a rip-off store.

    Office Depot sold me office furniture & promised a delivery date of 3/13/15. After ensuring office staff would be present from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., I contacted customer service at 12 p.m., 4:00 p.m. & finally at 6:00 p.m. because no delivery was made. I cancelled the order & requested they refund my account as we needed to go out over the weekend & quickly purchase new furniture elsewhere. It is now 3/17/15 and they have yet to credit my account, indicating it can take up to two weeks!!! Legal action will be pursued should the refund not be posted in 24 hours.

    I recently went in to check if my purchased tablet from office depot has a service plan. They only keep transactions for 30 days so I had no way to know. I went to the protection service plan company and they couldn't find me at all... even though I have purchased many plans in the past. I suspect more than 1/2 of the purchased plans at the store never get registered online... that extra one line... when office depot could it themselves instantly since they have my office depot number with customer info. A lawsuit should force office depot to register your protection plan at the time of purchase for members. They take your money but most do not register separately on-line. The receipts also are printed on thermal paper that erases in 2 days in a hot car!

    I wanted to order a laptop cart from Office Depot which was $1566.99. The order was for the school I work for, and we have a business account with the store. The rep sent me a quote, and stated the price for us was $1979.10. Almost $400.00 more. I called another retail store I will not mention, and they took care of my request and did give us a discount.

    I bought 8 chairs there and they only had one in store, No biggie they will deliver them. That part was just as they said it would be. One of the chairs was damaged in the box so I called it in and they told me they would send a new one out and take the damaged one, and would call to let me know when, Perfect.... two weeks later.... No call. So I called--they gave me a new service number and them hanging up on me several times in the process. Finally they said they would be calling me within a day or two to let me know when they would be there. Nothing... one week later I call again and they again they hang up on me… Don’t buy there!!!!

    After a few days of not receiving the laptop, I called Office Depot and was notified that the item has been returned to Office Depot. They immediately issued a refund. It wasted so much of my time! I will not order from Office Depot again.

    The Dell XPS 11 tablet laptop was on sale at Office Depot/Max. I contacted two local Office Depot/Max stores and they were both out of stock. One of the store's salesmen said that I can order it online and have it delivered to the store for pick up. Following his advice, I purchased the laptop online. However, there was no option to have it delivered to the local store for pick up. I started a chat with an agent online and was informed that the store delivery option is not available for the item. Anyway, here's the shipping/delivery mystery drama that I'm experiencing:

    I was informed the delivery date of Mar. 03, 2015 between 8am-5pm EST. So I waited at home the whole day for this laptop because it's an expensive item that I just didn't want the delivery person to leave at the front door. At 6:30pm, I tracked the item online and it stated that it was on the truck out for delivery early in the morning. However at 4:21pm on the same day, it stated the item as "Not Delivered - Closed b/c Holiday". What holiday??? I then contacted customer service and was informed that it will be delivered the next day, which was Mar. 04, 2015. By around 6pm, I contacted customer service again, and the agent guaranteed that it will be delivered "first thing in the morning" (her exact words) on the next day, which is today, Mar. 5, 2015. It is now 10pm EST in Atlanta and I still have NOT received the item. Also, the tracking website has no new status update for the item.

    I'm frustrated with Office Depot shipping and customer "no" service. BTW, the customer service phone line's voice and audio quality were so bad. I will give it another day for delivery before cancelling the purchase. What is the point of providing a tracking # Office Depot??? This is my first time ordering online from Office Depot. I had such high regards for Office Depot until now.

    Husband and I were starting our business and our office needed to be upgraded. I went into Office Depot to get some printer, paper, and ink. Look around at furniture went home. I decided to order a desk, chair and desktop online for store pick up. This option wasn't available for the desktop but was offered next day delivery by 5 pm. I thought great. Long story short it didn't arrive by 5 pm so went online to check status and to my surprise it said delivered. I immediately called Office Depot - rep stated they would do a re-delivery. Re-delivery? Red flags all over the place so I requested a refund. Needless to say that has yet to show up.

    I've been dealing with this since February 15, 2015 and to this day never receive the product nor my money. And to think all I did as a consumer was buy a product, pay for the product and for that I got no product and no money. I keep getting the same 3-5 days run around. (I'm thinking from what date because 3-5 days has elapse). No one from Office Depot has tried to make this right and it's sad. I will never spend a red cent there and is on a mission to let the world know. If we keep taking this their behavior will continue because they have no respect, values, or morals. They need to be held accountable for their unethical practices.

    I actually came into the store, sat with the gentleman and worked out the details of my order. AOK, there. BUT.... I sent a parent to pick up. When I received the items, the two 24"x36" posters had not been laminated as requested/paid for. I immediately called.... the manager first blamed her staff then MY VOLUNTEER PARENT who picked it up!!! HUH??? So, I asked for pick up service as I had no vehicle. NO... sorry, not for 2-3 days. So, the next night I took the posters down to be laminated.

    I asked for the manager's name and told the two overworked staff how she blamed them and then my volunteer. I got an apology from one of the staff. BUT>>> when I got back to my office, I opened up the rolled up documents and one had a huge crease down the middle; the other did not have proper printing! OMG!!! I am never going back...WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for two mistakes and no sense of responsibility by management! Almost $120 for something that looks lame as if I did it at home.

    I tried to use a $30 coupon and the website wouldn't allow it. First I tried the live chat and the customer service rep, who was not proficient in English, couldn't explain to me why the coupon wouldn't work. First he assumed that my order wasn't large enough to allow the coupon. After we ascertained that was NOT the case, he assumed my order contained "technology items" which don't count towards the order total for coupon usage. After we ascertained THAT was not the case, he finally decided that since some of my items were backordered, part of the coupon would be deducted from the backorder. That makes no sense, since the order without the backordered items was enough to cover the total required by the coupon. Then, when I got the backordered items, the remainder of the coupon was NOT deducted after all.

    When I called the customer service number, I talked to Christina, who IMMEDIATELY gave me a nasty attitude, and then put me on hold to wait for a supervisor. Another 15-minute hold. I will be looking for a different office supplies store.

    I bought a tablet on sale at Black Friday prices and was encouraged by salesperson to purchase the Performance Protection Plan, as it would replace my tablet for virtually any reason. I was told by the salesperson that it would be REPLACED by another tablet.

    Less than 3 mos. later, the screen was accidentally broken and I was happy to learn that it was eligible for replacement. I followed instructions, shipped the tablet back using their emailed label, received confirmation, etc., and patiently waited for the gift card they promised. I received the card and much to my chagrin, the card was insufficient to replace my tablet, since I had bought it on sale! I now would have to pay full price for the tablet and the card was not near enough. I am very upset that I was led to believe that this plan would replace my tablet. If I had been informed that it would only refund my money for the tablet, I would NOT have purchased it. I do not have the difference right now and would not have bought the tablet in the first place, had it been full price. Now I have no tablet, and I am out the price of the so called "replacement policy".

    I have been purchasing my electronics for years from Office Depot and this is the first time I have not been taken care of by customer service. This is a deal breaker for me. If I had been explained the Protection Plan properly, instead of it being represented as a "replacement plan", things would be different.

    MESSAGE to OFFICE DEPOT: Train your employees better! And you will not keep customers happy treating them like this. I will NOT be trading with you in the future, and I will inform anyone I know of my experience. Take a lesson from a very successful Wal-Mart....keep your customers happy and you will survive in business. TO OTHER READERS: If you have had similar experiences with the Protection Plan, perhaps a class action lawsuit is called for!

    I ordered (01/13/2015) a desk and credenza, both K-D, to be delivered to my home office. At the time of order, the credenza was in stock; the desk was backordered. I picked delivery of 01/30 for delivery of both items. Scheduled simultaneous delivery was confirmed with Office Depot on 01/21 between 8:30am and 5pm. Credenza was delivered 01/30 near end of day; driver's helper dropped his end of box, stating "It's heavy!" End result: One piece (the base) was broken. Day 2 (02/03) of trying to obtain resolution with no results. Day 2 of unbillable hours (lost revenues) for me.

    Day 2 Office Depot has not produced an exchange for the credenza or delivered the desk. I did receive an email stating delivery was attempted, but "the building was closed. They will try again today"; "the building" is my home and I was here. Three days required by Office Depot to await delivery and all they have produced is a broken credenza. This remains unresolved.

    I GOT SCAMMED TONIGHT AT THE OFFICE MAX in SANFORD, NORTH CAROLINA. My wife and I went there to purchase a few items. The total was 99+ dollars, but there was only 91+ dollars available because I had reached the daily spending limit on my card. Instead of denying the transaction, the cash register took the monies available, and displayed the BALANCE on the screen. When this happened, I asked the cashier to remove two of the four items so that I could purchase the remaining ones. When she couldn't do it, she called the store manager over, who RESTARTED THE REGISTER, thus erasing the record of my transaction. THEN IT GOT CRAZY...

    In the mean time, we were moved to another register, to check out. That's when we got the NSF notice, because the previous transaction DID go through, making me unable to purchase ANYTHING. The store manager was unwilling to write out a statement to the effect that this happened, because her office printout said that the transaction was INCOMPLETE, and that no monies were taken from my account. Since she didn't want to act right, and I didn't have my phone to call the bank, my wife stayed in the store while I went home to call the bank and go online. I called the bank, and talked to the attendant. SURE ENOUGH, the transaction DID happen, and she told me it had already posted to my account. I got online, printed off the PROOF, and went back to the store.

    After I showed the manager the undisputed PROOF of the transaction, she got completely nasty. She continued to insist that the transaction didn't happen, even though I showed her it did. My wife then asked her how to resolve this and she looked me directly in the eye and said, "YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO." Is that what you're supposed say to someone after you've TAKEN THEIR MONEY? I honestly could not believe that I was treated so awfully...

    I called the police to report a theft. I explained exactly what happened to the officer. We then went into the store, and the manager was still adamant that she didn't owe me anything. She also wouldn't even write a statement to the effect that I was even in the store at the time all this happened. The officer determined this was a civil matter, and decided NOT to write a report. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED SO AWFULLY BY ANY RETAILER EVER! This store manager wouldn't even admit or acknowledge that there was a problem...

    The fact that the retail miscue happened to me is NOT what irked me the most; The way the manager handled it IS. She wouldn't even acknowledge that there was a problem, AND her nasty disposition REALLY got under my skin. It didn't help matters AT ALL that the two cashiers that helped us, and young enough to be our children, were laughing at me and my wife, and how their store manager appeared to get away with treating us. WELL...I filed a complaint with the corporate office. I also intend to file a complaint with the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. I am also going to the Chamber of Commerce. I ALSO WROTE THIS AS A FB POST to tell my friends and POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS what happened.

I was instructed by **, a supervisor, that my bookshelf would be picked up on 1-15-15 between the hours of 7am and I thought she said 4pm. I OFFERED TO TAKE IT TO THE STORE BUT THAT WAS NOT ALLOWED AS HE BOUGHT IT ONLINE THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE. I asked for a 30 min call ahead to insure one of us would be at the house. At 3pm I had not gotten a call and my husband had not yet seen the driver. I called the 800# and was told that they would be at my house by 5pm...or MAYBE Friday. That was unacceptable to me.

    I planned for a Thursday pick up and at no time was I EVER told it would be Thursday OR MAYBE Friday. I was also informed during this call that the driver never even picked up my request for a call ahead. At 6pm I called back to the 800#, as I never got a call and the driver never showed up. I spoke to **. **, in customer service, placed a request for an investigation to be opened regarding this and told me I would get a call from a person in the transportation department WITHIN 20 minutes. I NEVER EVER got a call.

    I called back to the 800# the next day at 12:30 pm as I had still not seen a driver and had not gotten a call. I was transferred to a STORE MANAGER IN MARION OHIO. Although Amber, at the Marion store was SUPER NICE and offered to call the 800# for me and try to help me get this taken care of I declined her help. I feel this is not a store's issue. I declined making this her problem. At 7 (seven) days and I had still not heard from anyone at OfficeMax/Office Depot 800# so I put several requests into their online customer service email system. I did one for returns and one for complaints. I also mailed a letter through the Post Office to their home office.

    Today I received this reply from **, E-Commerce Support, Office Depot, 6600 N. Military Trail, Boca Raton, Fl 33496: "I am sorry to know that the item has not been picked up from your location and also, sorry to learn that you were disappointed with the service you received from Office Depot. In response to your e-mail, I have escalated your request. I have already submitted what we call a Service Request ** to reschedule the pick up date. They will check with carrier and get back to you directly with an update. You will be contacted at this email address and you can expect to receive a response within four business hours. I apologize for the difficulty that we caused. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reply or contact us at 1-800-463-3768. Thank you for contacting Office Depot."

    After the promised 4 hours and NO FOLLOW-UP EMAIL...surprise, surprise...I emailed them again through their customer service system and received this back: "Hi. This E-mail is in regards to the above order#. We have forwarded this request to carrier so that item will be picked up in 3 to 5 business days. For any assistance call us back @ 8884633768. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for shopping with Office Depot." So now they expect me to sit at home for the next 3-5 days waiting for them to show up? This is RIDICULOUS!

    I will never buy anything from Office Depot or OfficeMax again and I will make sure all my family and friends know what kind of customer service they will receive if they ever do. Request into their gotten a resolution about the pick up of this bookshelf, which is disassembled and in my way. This is absolutely the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I expect a call regarding this issue asap. I want the bookshelf credited and picked up.
