Had an excellent experience getting our TSA Pre-check transaction done with Brandon at the Staples in Brea, CA. TSA pre-check is good for 5 years! Just for this month (May 2026) they are running a promotion - $20 off for qualifying applicants under 30 years old. Brandon was knowledgeable, patient, thorough and quick. He walked us step by step through the process and explained other features/options offered for our travel portfolios i.e. Clear. We applied online a few evenings before, scheduled an in-store appt and Brandon closed up the transaction in less than 10 minutes!! I would recommend going to Staples to get your TSA pre-check handled quickly and efficiently. read more

I had some very important papers to photocopy. Staples has always been my go to place. So off I went at 7:00pm. Most people go in and find an available machine and do their own copying. I have essential tremors and have difficulty. I mentioned this to the young man in charge of the photocopy section. Bless you Paul. You were busy, but not to busy to help me. Or should I say do the job for me. You did it in record time and helped me organize everything. Staples, Paul is a keeper!!! read more

Excellent service for my printing needs by Christina. Helped me figure out how to email my document using Staples email and security code authentication. Also very nice and friendly checkout cashiers. No waiting in long lines. Easy checkout process. read more

I have been to this staples several times, and honestly not sure how it remains open. The store has little to no customers, and very few employees. In the past I've had decent customer service at check out. Today I went in to use the self service fax. I had a fairly large packet I needed to fax to a doctors office. I know faxes are very outdated, however this machine quoted me over $140. I was expecting $10-15 max, but with the outrageous price it quoted me, I canceled the order and left. I think staples really needs to rethink their pricing on this. I was faxing to a local number, not even out of state. I will likely not return here unless absolutely necessary. read more

Staples *August 16, 2025 *12:30pm- Saturday *5 Stars Environment: *Large Parking Lot *Friendly Staff Not my usual Staples location, but I was pleasantly surprised with my visit. I came in to drop off some old electronics, and the process was quick and easy. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the large parking lot made it convenient with plenty of space available. read more

I come here periodically for office supplies and always have a good experience. Earlier this year I had some invitations made at the print shop and they came out absolutely beautiful. I have been waiting for an office printer to go on sale and this past weekend it finally happened. I rushed over to the Brea store near me which had one left and I wanted to grab it ASAP so I wouldn't have to go to La Habra. I wasn't even going to write a review but the woman at checkout was so nice and helpful. I wish I got her name. She asked if I had the Staples app installed because they had some active tech coupons which might save me some money. She also told me that they recycle all kinds of electronics there (like my old printer) and give Staples points in return. I used to take my old electronics to Republic waste for proper disposal but I will bring them here from now on. read more

Great service when printing a big banner for my daughter's birthday party. The gentleman was very helpful with my non-tech self.

Hannah from the printing/marketing department was so helpful. She helped me with my holiday cards. Great customer service! With her knowledge and patience, it meant so much to me!

This store is a convenient place for amazon returns but unfortunately the line can be very long due to the cashier having to process returns and purchases. The regional manager is on site but he is to busy chatting with staff in the new party city corner to help his staff. This manager needs a lesson on supporting his team and paying attention to his customer needs. The cashiers deserve a raise and that manager should be fired. read more

Since they didn't have specific hours for travel services listed on the website, I stupidly thought they were the same as business hours. I went by on Sunday and saw the TSA Precheck sandwich board out front and stupidly thought that meant TSA Precheck services were available. My mistake! No travel services on Sundays or Thursdays, so don't be stupid like I was and go by the information provided on the website or in front of the store! read more

Extremely POOR service at Print/Copy department. Asking to have more business cards from previous order printed. Women sitting behind desk did not even rise to see the copy of the card with QR Code on card. Store manager couldn't assist because he did not know anything about Print/Copy Department. Complete waste of my lunchtime read more

I've used their copy and print center a couple of times. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Quick turnaround and consistently accurate and thorough. read more

Went in for TSA PreCheck. Wish I had checked Yelp first, would have found out that the TSA office was all the way in the back. As it is, we waited about 5 minutes at the front counter for someone to help us, then finally asked someone at the register. Once we got to TSA, Brandon was super helpful and knowledgeable. No wait at all (we had scheduled appointments online) and my two kids were done with the whole process in about 10-15 minutes for both. Easy process and they both got $10 coupons to spend at Staples. We splurged and ended up spending $70 total, so that's $20 off (smart move Staples, we would have been in and out without the coupons). read more

This review is simply based off of the service I received at the printing station today from Gabby Varela! I walked in the store to ship out two packages and was back to my car within five minutes. Gabby was extremely friendly, patient, and helpful. Thank you staples and thank you Gabby! read more

The print department was very helpful on Sunday, midday. Calm, knowledgeable (or willing to call for help if not), very courteous and timely. A great group of women who made a big difference in my day! read more

Dropped off things to laminate in the am. They said it would be ready by the evening. At 7pm I arrive and they hadn't even started. Gabby at the copy and print center was useless to say the least. She states we were busy all day but when I walked into store no one was inside but me and she was socializing with a coworker. Work ethic is hard to teach today.... read more

Not helpful at all. Couldn't locate a specific folder even after they gave me an aisle #. Went back to them again and they just said "maybe we are out" but they never looked. Just left and went to Office Depot in Fullerton. They were helpful and got what I needed. I won't be going back. read more

The service that I received today was impeccable. I had a TSA appointment and it was such a great experience. Brandon was so efficient, nice, and helpful with the process. Very knowledgeable and thorough with every step of the process. Job well done. I would highly recommend if you're enrolling into TSA Pre-Check please go to Staples in Brea. Excellent and the manager Morris was super friendly and very excited about how customers were leaving with a smile. Thanks. You and I will be back to shop with my $10.00 off coupon. read more

We have come here several times when the kids need last minute school supplies, like a calculator or poster board. We have always been able to find what we need and are appreciative that they open early. read more

I specifically came here for a TSA PreCheck appointment. They also offer Passport services here now too! They have a small booth in the very back middle of the building. It was very empty and quiet when I came here after work. It is nice that they have appointments after 5pm for those of us who work regular shifts. The whole process was super quick! I was in and out within like 10-15mins! All they do is have you scan your passport, scan your fingertips, take a photo, pay and sign! I was instantly approved the next day! Not to mention, I quickly strolled through the store and they had tons of deals for office supplies! Check it out! read more

Morris and his team helped me pull a last minute Hail Mary miracle to get some things printed at the very last minute. Although the website said it couldn't be done, they did everything they could to help me out right before store closing. Worth every penny and more. If I could tip them for their service, I would 100%! Thank you so much team! read more

Return your UPS here at Staples!! Much much much better than the UPS store across the street!! And they even give you coupon for stables!! read more

This review is for the printing. No access to an immediate printer at the moment so my go-to is the nearest Staples. Easily came into the store. I was greeted upon entry and on departure. It looks like there's 2 available printers here. Inserted my card for payment before printing. You can print by email or USB. I brought my USB. Made my selections for color and amount of copies. Printed both pages. Checked out in 10 minutes. Total came out to about 40ish cents. I recommend Staples if you don't have access to any other printer! read more

Morris was super helpful! Answered all my questions and helped me find what I was looking for.

This place was dead on a Saturday at 1 pm. I had an appointment to get TSA Precheck done and I got there early when the TSA guy was on lunch. He was very nice when he got back and the whole process was quick. I'd recommend this location for the lack of people in line. The store employees themselves though weren't the nicest. I walked in, went to TSA in the back, he wasn't there so I waited in line and watched as 2 Staples employees walked by me without asking if I i needed help or had a question (like I said, NO ONE was in there, they definitely could have answered the question I had, but instead I i waited 10 mins for the only cashier to tell me the TSA guy was "in the back... oh well I guess you have to wait then." Not the best customer service. Everyone acted like they didn't want to be there, except the guy at lunch. I have no use to shop here in the future. read more

Came here for TSA precheck enrollment. Location itself is convenient within the Staples and ample parking right outside. Head all the way to the back of the Staples and there's a small booth with clear TSA precheck signage. Poor girl working the enrollment center/booth didn't get a lunch break so the original appointments were delayed so she could get a lunch. This resulted in a longer wait than my appointment time and there was a crowd of people waiting around too. There weren't enough chairs for the growing number of people waiting around to give you a sense of the disorganized scheduling. I waited over 30-40mins from my original appointment time. It's not the girl's fault for taking a lunch break but TSA precheck should really get it together in terms of not scheduling people over lunch. Given all this, you're better off making an appointment online and try getting earlier time slots. Don't bother with walk-in unless you have the patience or time to waste. But the enrollment process itself only takes about 10-15mins. Bring plenty of entertainment for the long wait. read more

Hit or miss on items you need, sales, and customer service. It depends on the stock and the day. Some staff know tech and others don't. It's about selling you the card/plan first, questions last. read more

This review is for the TSA precheck. It's straight in the back. In a little cubicle... Looks a little random compared to the rest of the store. I made an appointment for mid morning on Weds, no wait walked in immediately. The gentleman who helped me was very helpful and explained each step of the way. I wish I got his name, he was great! Very easy process, took ~10 mins. If you filled the form online you just double check your info. You also get your picture taken, get your fingerprints taken and pay the 78 dollars. Remember to bring your proper documentation! You also get a coupon for 15% off an in-store purchase after every is completest read more

Staples has great selection of office supplies but did you know they take photos for passports and process TSA pre check too! I only needed photos for my passport application and was pleased that they offered this service until closing hours (no cut off time or short hours if you have a longish work commute like I do). I'm very pleased and I think everyone should know they have travel services on top of what Staples already offers! read more

(Pre-COVID-19 review) This Staples location is one of the only 2 Staples locations that are near me as the other 2 near my home have closed. It is located in the next to Tilly's and Nordstrom Rack, nearby The Home Depot as well. This store is on the smaller side, so less variety of products that I am used to. Regardless, it is still more convenient to grab school and office supplies here if you need it right away, instead of waiting for delivery. There are plenty of parking spots because of the same shared lot as the other stores, as it is on the end of that strip mall. read more

Thanks to staff member Laura I was able to find everything I needed. I tried to get help from the customer service counter but no one took the time to help. Laura saw that I was looking around and asked if she could help me find anything, she was stocking at the time but quickly took me to where the items were. Thank you Laura for caring :) read more
