Why even hire people if none of them want to work?I asked for assistance and they just point and look annoyed I even asked.I asked again and the guy said they didn't have none when online they said they did. Sure enough I found them by my self. If I could ring my self up I'm sure they would be happy. read more

Recently went to have a simple tasked done Initially I was told they can do it the following day I go back now they tell me they can't do it so I suggested they just give me some verbal instructions just for that simple task they wanted to charge me $30 which is quite obviously highway robbery so as we speak I'm reported it to the Better Business Bureau . Covid or no Covid there was no excuse for that highway robbery Attempt they try to do on me just to inform the staff never judge a book by its cover read more

Today I went to staples to do a return. They are always so helpful with printing the label and sealing up the package.

Bought me a desk and a book shelf here on the weekend. Store itself is pretty nice decent size. Prices are adequate. Usually buy this stuff online, but when it comes to furniture of anykind, you just want to rub yourself all over it and feel it before you buy, so hence the reason I came in. Only thing I didnt like, the CSR's were no were to be found. No one asking if I needed anything. Had to go to the front and ask someone to help me out with purchasing some of there big items. Then only to wait...and wait... read more

worst experience at this staples very disappointing. I was trying to print some documents on a weekday evening and for some reason the email server was not working because i kept sending my documents to the "staples@printme.com" so they could sent me back the barcode to print my documents and well it just wasn't working. I asked the employee designated to the printing area if there was any other way to print my documents bei kept sending them and received nothing back for almost 29 minutes nothing. He said do you have any other email and i said yes i've sent them using both none of my inboxes at showing them not in spam or nothing. Frustrating so i asked can i send them to a different email or server i really need theses printed tonight. . HE LEGIT SAID THERES NOTHING HE CAN DO. I. mean sure maybe there wasn't but a good employee would have tried alternatives or maybe call a manager to help me out but not he kept saying there's nothing he can do ...ok but this is your job budddy?! I mean i'm sure there is SOMETHING you can do Lol like what .. i sat there for another 10 minutes tryin to send to the email for staples to print my items...until i realized if i wanted these printed tonight i needed to go to another store because this employee was no help whatsoever. AND to be honest i've had issues in the past with the signal in staples or the server was slow but the person in the past has no issues with saying ok trying sending your documents here and gave me an alternative email to send and they printed them out for me free of charge for my troubles..how nice. BUT THIS LOCATION OMG NEVER AGAIN. i'm not even expecting free anything just for an employee to do their job and help customers when needed sheesh!!! I wish i got his name but he's a dark haired dude comes off as really unprofessional in general but hey what ever ...i ended going to another staples just in time before closing and printing my documents with little effort it was so easy. This guy at the downey location is completely unprofessional and unhelpful. the date i visited this store was 1/11/22 @ around 8pm read more

This store doesn't operate like any Staples I have visited. There is always a problem, no consistency regarding policies and little to no assistance but plenty of associates standing around talking. There is never an available manager to resolve or clarify an issue. I am making a choice not to disclose this last incident but this time I will be reporting corporate. This was my last visi....I absolutely refuse to spend my money here again. I wanted to give no stars but there is no option to do so. Think of this star as a negative -1. read more

I don't remember if his name was Juan or Jose. But the guy who helped me at the copy/media services area was amazing! I had a map pdf file I needed edited/photoshopped and Jose(or Juan) did a great job. Not only was he fast, but he was also very patient with me as I requested one or two tweaks after his initial editing. Courteous throughout as well. I feel it is rare to get such good customer service from a big box retailer. So thank you Juan(or Jose). I'm sorry I don't remember your name but you made my day. I really appreciated your help. read more

Horrible, by far the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I'm sorry but, it does look prosperous for Staples in Downey. I walk in to the store and get acknowledged by an associate, great job, now help the customer with what they came in to get. I asked for assistance not one, but twice. All Melissa did was smile, great smile by the way. The problem is Staples needs more than a smile to help the customers get in and out with all the products they need. I came out empty handed, no one even cared they don't make an additional $500 in revenue. Management, stay on top of your game and train your employees right, so that Staples can stand a chance in the community. read more

Derrick was great! He offered me a cheaper version of a product I was buying that I did not know about. He made sure I purchased the right item at a lower price. read more

I went to the print center and had one problem after another. First the card dispenser was broken. Then the printer wouldn't read my USB. So we tried emailing the docs, and the response time from the website was horrible. Finally the sales associate took my flash drive to a back room and - boom - done. The only reason I'm giving them a 3 is because the sales associate was super helpful and didn't end up charging me for the documents. read more

Great Costumer Service,Thanks To Marcos a young very nice young Guy.Also awesome that u can stack up coupons .

Why does the store hours on Yelp inform the customers that it closes at 9 PM when the store closes the doors at 8:40 PM??? I see the manager and the employees staring at me while they are just casually lounging around? Management definitely needs a huge change. 12/28/18 @ 8:40PM read more

I came to return some items I had purchased and I couldn't have found a worse time. It's back to school season and there were kids and parents everywhere. The line looked long but it wasn't, there were 3 cashiers ringing up customers and one long line which went pretty quick. We were looking to purchasing a good fancy/expensive pen. We wanted to test some out but they said we couldn't and that there was a paper with a picture of the pen and that's all we had to go off on. You couldn't feel, carry, write with the pen until after you have purchased it. Then after that if you don't like it then you would have to come back and return it (Inconvenient). The "pictures of the pens" were in the back to school department which was trashed with kids running around. I thought it was ridiculous as to how you would drop money $100-$200 on a pen you see in a picture. Before we left I went to go use the restroom and it was DISGUSTING. The toilet bowls were almost black/yellow/gray color and the sink to wash your hands in was black/gray all over. It hadn't been cleaned in a long time. It looked like a gas station restroom. I've been to gas station restrooms that were soooo much cleaner than that. So do yourself a favor, if you need to use the restroom, go elsewhere! read more

Bad customer service. Came by at 6:59 doors already closed. I asked employee at the door can i get 1 thing quickly and he said no. I understand its closing time but a sale is a sale that's bad business who closes at 7 when ever store around is still open. read more

I always come to this Staples for my office needs. Everyone there is very friendly, I am always given top service by Ty and Gino. The workers here help you carry heavy items, such as a big desk or chair to the car. Their prices are within moderation, and the best part is the offers they have every now and then, I get couples via Email to save on certain products on sale. But before purchases I always look up reviews on the item/product I'm about to get. It's not the store's fault an item is faulty or not what a guest expects. I'm always asked if I need help finding items, as well as treated really well for a guest. I recommend this place, because the associates here make it a great atmosphere. read more

Raul went above and beyond in meeting my needs in helping to supply CrimeSurvivlors.org with single subject spiral notebooks for their backpack giveaway! The cashier and the young man that helped me place them in my car were both friendly and accommodating. read more

Gasp, what a shocker. I did a review about how I came here all the time to get things printed and whatnot and how they would tell me I needed to wait hours for 1 page printed. Well I e-mailed one page I needed done (yes, just ONE 8.5" x 11" color print) because I was in a hurry and just needed to grab and go. I e-mailed it 2 hours ago. I got the e-mail confirmation stating it was good to go. I show up just now and get told I will have to wait 45 minutes. For one page. You have multiple printers and you can't do ONE page? It was also dead in the copy/print area, by the way. Of course their computer that you can print off of for a whole dollar extra is not turned on either. Seriously you guys, you're awful. read more

I had gone to the Ups store because is was on my way home. I spent a good amount of time trying to print some work documents. I ended coming here to staples. I've been here many times and they're staff is really helpful. I've came here for multiple types of service. Including my grandfathers funeral program. i was having trouble printing some documents. I asked the associate Andrew if he could help. He rebooted the printer and explained why my documents weren't being read. Something so simple. I'm definitely returning back for all copies here. read more

This review is for the lady on 9/28 who helped me over the phone in the Copy & Print print a boarding pass for my brother. Such patient person who had people waiting in line. Took my phone number and called me back to do the job. Such a well-mannered person who said "My pleasure" after everything and was a delight to work with. I hope this token of appreciation reaches her because we need more people like that who understand and are willing to help others even though they don't know them! Hope she receives a raise!!! Taking this and paying it forward! read more

I came in today to get ink for my printer and the store was lonely. I was in and out within 10min. I give this place 3 stars because I was walking to the register and there was no line. The cashier and i made eye contact and he was waiting for me to get there to ring me up and once I was at the register, out of nowhere this kid and her grandfather get infront of me eventhough I got there before them and the guy at the register helped them first. It was weird! I expected the guy to say something like "I'll be right with you" but he just got red when I was next. I still wished him a good weekend and I meant it but what he didnt do was not cool. . .funny story lol read more

Staples - Shipping Centers Near Me - Downey, California

On 4-18-2021 I went to the Downey store. My garage opened was not working and being a senior citizen at time I am not familiar with the process to correct. When I asked Eva - your associate within 5 minutes she corrected the problems. I needed a new battery. I am so grateful for helping me. Outstanding service read more

I emailed in a simple Color copy request. It had three documents 15 pages for two of the documents one page of the third document. SERIOUSLY unorganized and rude. You think that they had every talked to another human in their life! Silly me for thinking that if I email them a small 31 page color copy request, that I would be ready 7 hours later. Instead I had to prove to them that I emailed it in by showing them the email confirmation. Get it together Staples! read more

This five star rating is for Brigid she was awesome she was great she went an extra mile to making me a booklet for my notes I told her I needed it and it was really urgent and I came just 20 minutes before they closed and with a smile she said she's going to do it for me made an exception what a wonderful employee I think if everybody that worked in customer service was like that we would have great service everywhere I think she deserves a promotion God bless you Brigid! read more

This Yelp review goes out to Johnny P. in the print and copy department - thank you for thoroughly giving me estimates and an overview of sizing on my print project. This print project was a front and back obituary I made for my aunt and I appreciate the work you put in to get these prints made in a timely manner. Thank you very very much! My family appreciates the effort and kindness. Thank you! read more

Awful. There was no line but both printers weren't working. I waited for the employee to print it from his end and he couldn't figure out how to print it out. 43 minutes wasted when I could've bought a printer and done it myself in that time. Now I'm on my way to Office Depot and never going to staples again. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. I just wasted my time standing at the copy center for nothing. The cashier across the way made eye contact with me and then spoke into his headset so I assumed he was calling someone to help me so I waited. I watched a manager come out of the back, he made eye contact with me and smiled so I continued to wait. After 10 minutes with no one coming to help me at the counter I left. I made a comment as I left that I guess no one wanted to help me and the cashier just looked at me. No comment, no apology, nothing. That's the last time I go to that Staples. I went to another Staples and the lady at the copy center was so nice and helpful and even though her machines couldn't do what I needed she gave me names of a couple places I could try. What a different experience! read more

My problem with this staples is that I can NEVER get any help on the floor. I can NEVER find any help, ANYWHERE, not even at the register. You would think that there would be someone, stocking, or tidying, or straightening up displays - BUT NEVER. They don't even have good prices and a good selection. I just don't find them customer friendly at all. Staples use to be a place you could shop with confidence that your getting quality service. I guess that went out the window with there help at the store. Not shopping here and more not even on occasion. The interesting thing I found out is that you can't complain about this on there website. That's only because there corporate customer service is most likely the main problem. They Don't Care!!!!! read more

Terrible customer service from Manager himself and bad service off the website. I purchased a prepaid phone online and because I was in a hurry and needed the phone the same day for my son who I was going to drop off at practice, I selected the pick up at store option. That process was surprisingly easy and the worker was pleasant. I signed and was on my way. On the way out, the alarm set off and the worker just waved at me that it was ok. I was not able to activate the phone with tracfone.com. I called them and they saw that the phone was INACTIVE status. They proceeded to ask me questions to confirm that I actually PAID for the phone. I called the Staples Downey store and asked for the Manager. I felt I lucked out when Aaron answered and said he was the manager. After I explained my dilemma he went on to say that it's because I bought it online, they don't have to scan it. If they would have scanned it, they would have charged me again. I asked him why would I buy a phone I cannot activate? His solution was to bring phone back, return it and purchase again. And he gave me the Staples number and cut the conversation short. That evening I went into the store to return and I saw that Aaron was at the register so i waited for him. I told him we spoke on the phone, he did my return without making eye contact, looked terribly irritated, gave me a receipt and sent me on my way. In my car I tried to activate my phone on my own cell phone before I left the parking lot. Guess what..... same problem. Tracfone rep told me it still showed INACTIVE and refreshed his screen many times. Went back inside and told different cashier my issue and she was polite and willing to help. She called Aaron on her headset and she said, "all we can do is do a return for you". She proceeded to tell me that the Staples server was down and they couldn't even activate gift cards. What? Not once did Aaron give me this explanation. I would have gone somewhere else. To top it off, I could only get store credit back instead of my getting by money back onto my card. Now I'm stuck having to go back and repurchase my phone when their "server" is back up. I have emailed Staples.com with this issue without response. How has this company stayed in business. Once I get this resolved I plan to never go back. read more

Manager at this location is unprofessional and actions isn't in the best interest of their customers. Long story short during the research process of choosing the right products for my business, tried to exchange a unopened software of $149 for printer of $299 and was embarrassed and denied by current manager to process this transaction. First, the manager insisted that their policy states that the total amount of the purchase needed to be returned to original store. Which nothing in their customer service return policy states anything in that nature. So I decide to get the printer there since they had one left and I'll return the unopened software later. So I stood in line and manager yelled across the store saying I couldn't return it there and I replied yes I knew that is it ok if I purchase the printer. At the register employee was nice and rang me up and charged my card but no discount was honored. So manager jumps in looking furious and told staff to void the transaction and recharge my card. My card was declined and overdrafted my business account. So now I'm irritated and ask the worker to show me where does it state returns of x amount needed to be returned at the original location. Neither myself nor the worker could find it so analyzing the situation I concluded that this location wasn't making its numbers and being the last day of the month the manager didn't want anything returned in his store; but didn't realize I wanted to exchange it for something of greater value. During my next free day I headed to the original store (alondra Staples) and what a great staff they had there. No hassle during the exchange process. And I acknowledge their service and informed them about the horrible Service undeceived from the Downey Landing location and they thought it Was weird for the manger to detour me into returning the product at the original location. In addition the guy that helped me find the printer I was looking for validated that this printer was best choice for my business. He asked why and stated how its functions would be most efficient and save me $$ in the long run. Overall, I would love to continue driving the extra mile to Staples (on Alondra on Norwalk) but compared Office Depot (on Firestone in Norwalk) and Concluded that customer experience was the best out of all my trials am errors using different locations. I know Staples has better promotions but if I wanted to be treated like shit I can always go there. But I'm happy with Office Depot and it's services for my business. read more

Great service, one of the few companies that still provide a good customer service experience. Been here about 10 times within the last three months and I'm amazed by the friendliness and knowledge of the employees.

Easy tech service was very bad. I got my laptop computer restored at $300+ . Gave me a free Microsoft anti virus software & was never offered a regular software like Norton. After few months my computer got a virus. When I took it back they wanted me to pay them $140 to remove the virus. And on top of that they wanted me to buy Norton anti virus. As you can see they trapped me to buy their products by not offering the right products to begin with. General manager Mr. Aaron Hammock was very unprofessional & never offered any courtesy to resolve this issue. I do not recommend Staples's Easytech services to anybody. Bestbuy was much better and had great customer service and prices were reasonable. Staples Easytech department is a ripoff. read more

Completely unprofessional and unfriendly. I went there to make copies for my grandmothers funeral program and waited at the copy center for 10 minutes. Employees ignored me. I finally went to the tech area to a manager that didn't seem to know anything. I asked for help but he continued to talk with an employee rather than help me. Finally he sent some girl over to help who was no help and had an attitude. I asked for copies to be made and she said well I doubt you will get them today! Seriously what do you employees do besides not helping people. I told her it wasn't good enough and I am taking my business somewhere else. I couldn't believe how unprofessional the manager and sales person was. Ridiculous! read more
