I like service at Staples Fremont hub. It's an amazing staff at Print & marketing. Really appreciate the help at self serve. Grace helped us and is an amazing. I am happy because she explained everything and she know how to work on phone and all.

This store has terrible customer service. I purchased a printer from them and their Protection & Tech Help contract. The first printer I purchased was defective out of the box an Epson XP-7100. After repeated calls to Epson and Staples and long waiting on the phone they agreed to send a replacement. The replacement was able to print but not scan.
After many painful calls to both Epson and Asurion who is their third-party tech support in the Philippines I called the Staples in Concord that I purchased it from to get help. I asked for tech support in the US and they lied to me over and over that is where their tech support was located. I know that was not true because I asked each time where the support center was located. When I told the Stable folks they were give incorrect information and miss leading, lying to people they hung up. I will not use this store ever again and caution consumers to beware. Worst customer service I have experienced. This is the number they told me was in the US - it is not. 844-728-7854.

My wife made an online order on Wednesday February 25, 2026 for printer ink for her Brother fax/printer. Due to difficulty placing the order online, she had to have assistance from a customer support representative. After completion she discovered the order had to be sent from a Staples store in Clinton, MD to be picked up in Oxon Hill, MD. When I arrived to pick it up it could not be found. Staples employee Arnetta came to the rescue, I didn’t even have the order number. Arnetta realized that FedEx had made deliveries to the Oxon Hill Staples and found the package. The entire time she was very professional and polite. She demonstrated excellent customer service skills!

Online order that is ???? who knows where, I called Staples customer services and they don't seem to know or have any way at all to find out where it is. I guess they can't get in touch with their own Staples Fleet Drivers. My order was due today by 5pm that didn't happen and get this in was loaded on a truck in New Bedford at 7:20am. I could have walked faster than their Fleet delivery service. If I could leave a 0 star I would.

Staples in Raleigh on Wake Forest hates customers returning Amazon products. The store manager sets up barriers to prevent Amazon returns and insists that you walk to the back of the store before you can do an Amazon return at the front of the store.

Wow, what a terrible experience with Staples store #0411, Salisbury. MD on Monday, December 29, 2025. I was there to drop off an Amazon return - Staples was the only free option offered. There was ONE register for returns and purchases, with the line snaking back through the store. We customers noted that 2 employees manning the separate printing area seemed to be doing nothing, but no one was jumping in to help. When asked if there were any managers who could be dealing with the one-line chaos, the response was "They're in a meeting."
At my 20 minutes mark in line, a second register was opened and customers were directed to that register for purchases, my line would take returns. I have both returns and purchases - I'm now supposed to continue in my line for returns and THEN get in the newly opened line for purchases. (Luckily hubby was available to take the purchases.) Finally after 23 minutes, I reached the counter with my 2 items for rerurn - no box no/no label needed. Ms ** was having a ride on the Struggle Bus - she asked for my QR code to scan 5 separate times. I had carried my two no box/no label returns into the store in a box and had removed them (remember, no box no label required), but Ms ** told me to put them back in the carry box, which was ultimately thrown into a falling tower of boxes behind her. Finally done, as I left the store I glanced at the return receipt; it listed three items going back, not two.
Whew, so glad that was over! And yet, not quite - guess what got delivered to my house just now. Yep - the nightmare Staples return I dropped off 8 days ago. So Management, I don't know what valuable insight you gained or shared in your December 29th meeting, but you could have better served your store by being present on the floor and doing what managers are paid to do - manage.

I had another excellent Staples experience. I am always happy with the staff, especially at the Manhasset store. The Tech Support is terrific. This time Jazz helped me with my laptop. He is patient and thorough. Last year, Iesha was a huge help. And she is still working there. Yesterday I had Jazz help me. Great hiring Staples.

It’s frustrating to shop at Staples. The stores are understaffed, unorganized, and the employees are not well-trained. The ink section is always a mess, and the Rewards program can’t even be understood by customer service. I don’t mind paying their higher prices if I actually can get support and information on products. I was trying to buy a printer and was told to look up information online…the employees are not educated on the products they sell. At this rate, I predict a complete shutdown of all retail stores within 2026. Every item at Staples can be purchased for less through Amazon. Why does Leadership not understand or care about growing the brand?

I went to Staples in LaGrange Georgia for a printout on a label and the cashier would not help me then I asked to for a product back that I accidentally shipped when it was supposed to go to Postal Service and they refused and the manager will not even get involved and make it right. Both of them need to be fired.

I wish I could give a zero rating to Staples. I placed an order for three items and paid for premium shipping because the Staples website clearly stated that the products would be printed within 24 hours. I selected 2-day shipping specifically so the items would arrive one day before my event. However, 24 hours after placing the order, I was informed that the design on the pen was “not accurate,” despite the fact that it looked correct on the customization template provided on the website. Due to the uncertainty and further delay, I had no choice but to cancel that item.
I fully expected the remaining items to be printed the same day and shipped immediately. Instead, 48 hours after ordering, I received another email stating that the notebook I requested was not in stock. This was extremely disappointing, especially since the order had already been accepted and processed. At that point, the remaining items (bags alone) were of no use, and I had to cancel the order entirely. Because of these delays and the lack of clear communication, my event was negatively impacted, and the opportunity to present the materials was lost. This experience reflects poorly on Staples and does not align with the service level advertised.

I just talked to someone in customer service about my concern of, DoorDash as their delivery service. My question was/is, does Staples share my billing information with DoorDash? Answer: I don't know...I don't think so? My response was: I need a better answer than that. Her answer was: I use them all the time and I haven't had a problem! "Really!" I lost it! When did it become about your Customer Service Rep? (I didn't react well.) I don't trust these Food Delivery companies! I better not have an issue with this order. If this is how, "Staples" handles their customers concerns, and DoorDash is their Delivery service of choice: then I have choices too.

A friend needed a new desktop computer. We were going to compare the prices between Staples and Best Buy. Today we stopped at the Staples at Prices Corner and the sales lady, Jenne, helped us. We could not have asked for a better person to help two people who knows little to nothing about computers. She was wonderful. And the price was unbelievable. She bought the computer on the spot. We could not be any more satisfied. Jenne was terrific and took the time to explain everything. My friend even bought the service package and as I said, the price was not expected. Not only did Jenne give her the black Friday price she gave her an extra instant savings. Staples is transferring all her files to her new computer. Staples better hold on to Jenne. She is a great salesperson. Thank you Jenne for everything. Bryan

I was verbally accosted by an employee at the Salem NH store (#0047) after waiting 45 minutes for the store to open (Store opened 45 minutes late). I spoke with the store manager, **, who witnessed the abuse and offered no apology or information on how to file a formal complaint. Horrible store, horrible service. I will now purchase my supplies through Amazon.

Very Disappointing Experience at the Hanover, PA Staples. This Staples location is unlike any other I’ve visited — the level of rudeness here is unbelievable. On my very first visit, as soon as I entered the store, the manager looked at me with a harsh, unfriendly expression, as if he disliked me for no reason. I was completely confused. When I went to his register to check out, he was rude and dismissive. I even asked if I had done something wrong since I had never seen him before, but his attitude didn’t change. I left the store feeling hurt and confused. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was bias or something else? I’m not sure, but it was very uncomfortable.
When I returned on another occasion, a different associate treated me the same way. That’s when I realized this behavior seems to be part of the store’s culture — the associates follow the manager’s example. It’s a clear case of poor leadership and unacceptable customer service. This was one of the most unpleasant shopping experiences I’ve ever had at a Staples.

I ordered a case of printing paper online and was told it would be delivered the next day, October 16, 2025. The online tracking showed partial delivery out for delivery, but it was never delivered. I called customer service, and they told me it would be delivered the next day, October 17th. That evening, I called the customer service number to have the order cancelled. It would be easier just to go to my local Staples store and pick it up. I had a home print job to complete the next day. The customer service rep told me he had canceled the order. He had not! I could see in tracking it was supposed to deliver on October 18th (still with partial delivery indicated). Of course, it did not deliver that day either.
I called customer service again. The young lady assured me that she had cancelled the order this time. I went to a local stationery store and got the paper to complete my printing job, and when I checked the tracking, it did not show canceled. I NEVER received a cancellation email from them. Now it was supposed to deliver on October 20th. The order was never cancelled, but it was delivered on the 20th, two days after my deadline had passed. AS a longtime rewards member of Staples, I am disappointed and pissed off with their customer service. I will NEVER buy from them online again. And if they don't get their stuff together, then I will stop going to the store to shop entirely.

So, I was at the store, and they said if I bought some more Epson ink and used my rewards app, I'd get 20% off. But when I checked out, no discount! They said the 20% would be added to my rewards for next time. Now I'm ordering again, and I only got $2 off. How is 20% of $240 only $2? Their app and rewards are a total scam! Don't bother thinking you're getting a deal, because you're not.

Whatever you do please check what you get in your protection plan. It’s crap. You bring your product back to the store like they say and they tell you to go through your protection plan but when you do the protection plan people say go through the manufacturer. So don’t waste your money on the protection plan. It’s worthless.

I visited the Staples located at 3223 W 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90020, on Sep 24,2025 between 1pm-2pm. I just wanted to drop off my Amazon package. There was a ** man (in his 20-30s) and a Hispanic girl at the Amazon return station. I was standing near the counter to return my package. The girl was taking care of her order with a customer, the man was there too but he didn’t say anything to me, so I assumed I would have to be on the line where the ** girl was at. After she was done with her customer, she told me that the ** man is supposed to take care of the drop off package. So I went to him, he took care of my stuff quietly, absolutely no words came out from his mouth. After he took my package, I made my way to the exit.
Then I got a gut feeling that he might be mistakenly not scanned my return order. When I checked on Amazon website, it wasn’t scanned. So I went back inside and asked the ** girl to make sure that the package was scanned. The ** guy was listening and he said “that’s why I asked you for the receipt lol” so I said “I’m sorry I didn’t hear you” which I actually didn’t hear. In fact he never spoke while he was taking care of my order so I generally thought he couldn’t talk. I also didn’t know if I could get a receipt for the return. After I apologized for not hearing him saying that, he then laughed and said “I asked you for the receipt lol”. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Then I said “sorry I didn’t hear you saying that” then he just laughed and ignored.
The ** girl was so sweet and nice. But the ** man needs to learn how to communicate with his customers. Not all of your customers are experienced in returning Amazon packages. Also, not many people are physically good at hearing. I am **, especially in this massive challenging time with immigration issues, his attitude really made me feel uncomfortable. From his attitude, I can only believe he was trying to act rude on purpose because of my race.

⚠️ Buyer Beware ⚠️ This company invests more in advertising than in actual service. I was with them for nearly two years, and the experience was a nightmare. My mail often went unuploaded for over 40 days, and items were frequently misplaced. They partner with iPostal1, whose employees were consistently unprofessional—making customers wait 30 minutes with no line, prioritizing printing jobs, and then failing to report the mail properly.
When I voiced my concerns, instead of resolving them, the company retaliated. They initially extended my service for a year, then abruptly revoked it and closed my account altogether. In my experience, this company operates with blatant disregard for fairness or accountability. Compared to my 12 reliable years with the U.S. Postal Service, switching to this company was a serious mistake. Save yourself the frustration—look elsewhere.

I went into Staples in Gardner, MA to get ink for my Canon printer. Once in the section of the store where ink for printers is located I was overwhelmed by the number of different inks. An employee was walking by and I asked him for assistance. His name was Braylon. Using his cell phone, Braylon searched for a compatible liquid ink for my printer. This process went on for 15 minutes only to find out at that time this Staples was out of the number of the ink I needed.
Braylon offered to check with other stores in local cities nearby. I told Braylon I would try and order it online. I have never experienced this much customer service at this particular Staples. Braylon was personable and very knowledgeable about ink for printers. He was determined to find the one I needed and did so in a patient manner. Braylon was very courteous. I definitely will share my experience with family members and friends regarding the Gardner MA Staples.

I called Staples looking for assistance and was extremely disappointed with the arrogant attitude of the agent who answered. Rather than trying to help, they were dismissive and uncooperative. It felt like I was an inconvenience rather than a valued customer. If Staples wants to maintain good customer relationships, they need to ensure their staff treats callers with respect and at least makes an effort to assist.

Absolute clown show of a store. I walked in to make a simple Amazon return with my trained service animal, and the guy at the counter looked like customer service had personally wronged him. Miserable doesn’t even begin to cover his attitude. I approach, and he barks (pun intended) that they “don’t allow dogs.” I explain—calmly—that he’s my service animal. His genius response? “Even service animals pee in the store.” Excuse me? I remind him again that it’s my service animal, and he doubles down with, “Well we don’t allow dogs so IDK.” The ignorance is staggering. The incompetence? Impressive, honestly—it must take real commitment to be this bad at your job. This wasn’t just rude, it was an ADA violation in real time. Hope they enjoy the lawsuit headed their way.

Purchased a box of folders online for $30. Went to the Warwick Staples to return, and brought the online receipt. They said that the online receipt wasn’t good enough because it didn’t have a barcode to scan. So they offered me a gift card, at the lowest price they ever sold the folders for $17. What a rip off! Most likely will not be shopping there again. I have plenty of other options to shop for office supplies!

I regularly shop at 131 Samoset st Staples in Plymouth Ma. Always have a great pleasurable experience. I had an issue with ink that I bought for my printer. My return policy had ran out due to the fact I bought the ink for back up purchases, and by the time I needed to use my back up ink I was looking at months past my return policy. I went to see if there was any possibility that they would see that I purchased it understanding that I purchased it and trying to return it way past the return policy date, understanding that there could be a very good possibility that I was out of luck, but the manager was very kind and understanding and accepted the back and exchange for a new one. I was very appreciated knowing that they did not have to do that. I just wanna say I will always support and continue to shop at staples. Manager was very kind and handled everything beyond my expectations. Thank you.

I had been shopping at Staples for decades for both personal and business office supplies and have been a member of the rewards program. The other day I went in to buy computer paper and immediately saw a sign by the register for computer paper on sale for 5.99 but then was told the price is only honored if I have the app. Twenty minutes later, after not being able to load the app or tie it to my account, etc, I left and will never go back again. Way to alienate your loyal customer base, you deserve to go out of business.
