    I got bored with Staples yesterday and telephoned my credit card company. I explained I had been charged for goods I had never received and that it was impossible to communicate with the company. They have credited my account and presumably done a chargeback to Staples.
  • Hi,

    are we saying that nothing is turning up, i have been told that a 30p pen is out of stock ??? and they have it on back order !

    is it no System at all ?
    stay lucky!
    Steve.
  • you did not get the speakers becouse they had the wrong plug on them
    ........ and we made a £200 + order as well.
    No offer of a Cd Player.......

  • Just get a damn refund...it isn't worth the bloody hassle. Poor company with poor service. DO NOT BUY FROM STAPLES AGAIN....and let it be a lesson to you!

    got my cd player :) yesterday
  • Phoned up last saturday, got through after 5-10 mins. Explained that I'd been charged £3.75 for my pencil & had only received a welcome pack. Was told pencil out of stock, so they refunded my £3.75. I asked about the free gift, & they said they could only offer a cd player, & I had to buy something, so I ordered something else for £1.50, & they gave me free delivery because of the problem with the previous order.
    RESULT! I received my free cd player & my order for £1.50 today, worth the wait, thanx josh  ;D ;D ;D

    Tip for other money savers waiting for there free gift, you do need to ring them, or you'll most likely receive nothing, & be nice to the call centre person, even though you may be annoyed, you will have more chance of getting something. Good luck ;)
    Next year we'll be millionaires!
  • Derek is right, the girls from the call centre are only doing their job and they certainly aren’t having a good time with hundreds of customers complaining that they haven’t received their free gift!!

    I patiently waited 40 minutes before I got through and was told that the SS System had been discontinued but that I could choose from the CD player (which everyone is having) a digital camera or a 52 bits tool kit – I chose the camera because I reckon the CD player will be out of stock soon :) and I don’t want to wait another month!!

    I rang them on Thursday and was told that I should receive the camera next week, hopefully. I’ll let you guys know if it’s any good...

    Hi all,

    I guess I'm having pretty much the same probs as you are - but I'd just like to say that in the past, Staples have been a pretty reliable company.

    I used to use them & Viking all the time for my stationery and didn't have any problems.

    This has all been a c@@k-up since they tried to merge neat-ideas and (iirc) Office World into their systems.

    I have every confidence that they'll return to that level of service eventually - but for now I agree with the general consensus - don't touch em with a barge pole!
    Life should be a little nuts; otherwise it's just a bunch of Thursdays strung together.
