I needed business cards for an event in a few hours and had to find a place that would cheaply and quickly print me some decent cards. I looked at a couple other office stores but Staples had the best selection of templates, very easy ordering, and a great price - $8.50 for 200 cards. I was able to find a nice template, enter my info, and make some changes to the font and colors quickly and easily. They were ready when I got to the store a few hours later and look great - nothing fancy but I didn't need that. The store itself was pretty empty, just one person working the copy and shipping counter, but it was still very fast. My only recommendation would be to send customers an email to let them know when it's printed - they said usually 4 hours and that was fine for me, but I'm guessing it was ready much sooner unless there were lots of orders and it's nice to be sure before you head out if it's definitely ready. Had I needed it under 4 hours I would have called to see when it would be ready. If they fall apart in a day I'll update my review, but otherwise I am very pleased and will use them again when needed! read more

Please don't go there The print service is terrible! They know nothing, very bad service,never go again be careful guys! read more

Caryn in the copying/printing department is so considerate. I hate machines. She helped me set up a copy machine to do a page reduction so all the type fit on a standard sheet. She did not leave me until she showed me how to complete the entire process: IE showed me the OK button and then another button I had to push before starting to copy. Those things always flummox me. I felt like Caryn wanted to be truly helpful and had tons of patience for a machine-a-phobe like me. read more

I've been coming to this Staples store for many years - for school supplies, office supplies, work-related printing and so much more. Today I visited to get supplies and an office chair for our family to work at home. It will be my last visit. I regret all the money I have spent here. On a day when the community should be supporting each other and businesses like Staples should be helping consumers impacted by the shelter order, this store including its staff and the manager, Eric, was not only unhelpful but downright rude. Very unfortunate. read more

Eric is a lifesaver and top notch customer pleaser! Very knowledgable and also creative in problem solving. I came in with a printer issue that I thought was essentially irredeemable, yet left with a solution that was better than my own best-case scenario. You know you are getting the best possible interaction and service with this fine employee! read more

Worst Staples I've ever been to. Came in to recycle ink and was initially denied by the manager since he said he had already warned "my group" to not recycle there anymore..WTF?! After explaining to him that I had just moved to the area, he said he would process it just this once like he was doing me a favor! Unbelievable. Rude and racist - safe to say this will be my first and last time here. read more

Never again. Same as other reviews, I needed to exchange unopened ink clearly purchased at Staples, and even had a receipt for half of the product (I lost the other receipt, which is my fault), but they refused to look up the sale via my credit card number or by my rewards number or by any other means, and the guy was really, really snarky and rude about it. NEVER AGAIN. read more

STAPLES DOCUMENT SHREDDING IS NOT SECURE! We took papers to be shredded and the next day, we were victims of identify theft. We are still dealing with this months later!!!! Go to a shredding event where they shred the documents right in front of you. Staples does not shred it while you watch which is the only truly secure way to shred documents. read more

Their copy center was incredibly friendly and cheaper than Kinkos. They printed us "practice" copies, and they printed our job for us quickly and efficiently. I was really happy with their service, and I will definitely print here again instead of going to Kinkos. read more

I know sometimes the service can be slow, but I wanted to say Tim who helped me upgrade my iPhone was super helpful and knowledgeable. While my I had to wait for some data transfer to be done and he start helping another elderly customer and I also noticed that he was very patient and took his time explaining everything to the gentleman. While he was helping the gentleman, he still checking on my status. He also followed up on some calls as he promised. When you are short staffed, it is hard to please everybody, but he still managed to do so which his great attitude. I just wanted to say thank you. read more

most of the staff were great. helpful and very friendly. All except the weekend manager. A tall, brown-cropped-haired, overweight guy whose clothes barely fit him. He was awful and stand-offish. I had some business cards made and transferred from the Fremont store to Menlo. My name was mis-spelled. On the 2nd visit the name was corrected but they lost my $10-for-250-cards coupon. He said it was MY job to call the other store and find the lost coupon. As if I have their number on hand. The rest of the staff was great but this guy seemed happy to NOT help me. Even after I said I'd use Vistaprint from now on. read more

My husband came into this Menlo Park Staples (Saturday, July 18, 2020) around 3 pm, trying to purchase a graphing calculator for my daughter. To buy the calculator at this Staples, you have to pick up a cardboard tag that you can hand to the cashier. (Supposedly, this means the calculator is available and the cashier should grab one of the calculators from their storage when you hand them the cardboard tag). However, when the cashier asked the manager (bald, Caucasian man), the manager blatantly denied my dad of the calculator. My husband politely asked the manager if the calculator was available in a different color, but the manager repeatedly said "I'm not going to sell this to you", despite his questioning why. Finally, my husband left the store, still unaware as to why he couldn't make the purchase. The manager was behaving xenophobic towards my husband, which is completely unacceptable. read more

I do like to visit small-time stationers when I can, but for the selection for an all-in-one printer-scanner-copier close to home, I popped in here and found more than 20 and all the help I could ask for. Two salesmen went over ink, whether I really needed fax, ease of installation, wifi, and more. I walked out with one for $50 and they carried it out to my car. Very nice service. They even talked me out of getting an external CD drive for my netbook, telling me I could download the drivers no problem (and they were right). I had it all installed with my wireless and tested and printing and copying in under an hour. Woot! read more

I've been here a bunch of times, and they're never too busy (except the Friday before back to school). I usually come to drop off packages for UPS and the guys behind the copy center are nice and accommodating when I ask for a receipt (for the drop-off). I even got a free pad of post-its from them once, and the clearance rack in the back is always interesting. read more

I had to print something and my phone wasn't sending the document due to lack of good wifi connection. The guy working at the printing/computer area was so helpful! I think his name was Kuldeep. He had several people come up while I was being helped and he was friendly and accommodating to all of them when most people would have been overwhelmed in that situation. Thanks so much for your help Kuldeep, I really appreciate it!! :) read more

Waited all day for delivery of office furniture. Called at 8:00 in the morning and they said that I just had to wait all day until the delivery comes. It is now 7:45 at night and the guy rolls up. I wasted the whole day for some fiberboard desk? Very poor customer support. If you really want it go elsewhere. I bought this online and not at the store. read more

I come here frequently as it's the closest supply store to my office. I have always had a positive experience here. The staff is extremely attentive and always goes the extra mile to help me out. They have lead me to the right products, found overstock in the back of the store, tested out products with me, and even sat down with me to search online for things they didn't have in store. They do all of this with a friendly and professional demeanor. 5 stars every time. Thanks Staples! read more

A good places for supplies. Though a little tacky having the clerks eating chips and playing games while waiting for customers.

This review is just for calling 3 times for iPhones screen replacement. 3 times because of non black screens available and to call back. 1st call was $129, 2nd call was $149.99 and final call was yes we have screens, wait only white for $199.99 u kidding me!!! Ur more than many other repair companies including Apple... Wow!! read more

Karen in the copy center was extremely helpful. Their self-serve copiers didn't receive my document correctly by email, so she helped me behind the counter to produce beautiful copies. Thanks for going the extra mile! read more

Great high quality fast same day service by Deepie C Thank you for your assistance with cards and stamp For our company ! The McGee's The management should be very proud of dedicated pleasant staff. I was looking for an iPad cover while waiting for printing material to be completed , Carlos S happen to be walking by I asked his assistance and without hesitance he was very helpful even prior to start of his shift !! That is what I call great customer service read more

I was really disappointed with the manager Carlos's service. I bought a modem/router made by Motorola and it died after having it for less than two years. I had bought a year warranty but the two year option was not available at that time. They refused to do anything to help me out and I had paid good money for the modem and warranty. It was such a disappointment that I will not go back to staples again. I was hoping to at least get a few more years out of the modem but if staples plans to continue to sell defective products then I might as well risk spending my money elsewhere. read more

Today I went into Staples to get business cards and brochures made for my company. The people in the copy and print center are more than helpful, patient and friendly. The service was so good that I decided to bring in some food for the girl that helped me. To drop the food off quickly I parked in front where there was commercial vehicle loading and as I came back in I was "greeted" by one of their employees, Richard, who said nothing but "just as a reference boss that's handicapped parking" I said thanks and walked over to the copy and print center to give show my gratitude. I was in and out and the rudeness of the employee there made me call the store back. I spoke with the manager, Andrew, who really didn't take my complaint seriously. He wrote it off as oh well he is a trainee. ' Again the copy and print center was very helpful and if not for them I would NOT be returning. read more

I had a marvelous experience at Staples in Menlo Park. The staff was extremely helpful. My printer was on the fritz so I headed to Staples to buy a replacement. When I looked confused with their myriad of printers, they recommended one to me, pulled the printer ink off the shelf and even carried the printer to my car. It was such excellent customer service and my new printer is terrific. While at Staples I was impressed with another service they offer. They photocopy at a cheaper price than Kinko's and offer to photocopy for you. Just drop off your job, shop for other stationery supplies and pick up your completed print job. I was so impressed with the service at Staples. I am definitely making that my "go to" stationery supply store. read more

Seems to be a nice enough store, but they do not have BIKE RACKS. Down by BevMo they said.

came in to buy office supplies. and there were a horde of kids packing the isles. I guess it is back to school time. Prices are reasonable.

Used to be my go to place for printing and office supplies for 3 years, but this year has been awful. They have all new staff, the old staff used to be really friendly and helpful, now they don't even know what they're doing and are condescending. There now is a surcharge for printing done the same day, which is ok because it's a new thing for all the staples, but when I asked how much it was, the printing staff member took 10 minutes asking me how many impressions it was, which I answered. But then he kept asking the same question, because he didn't understand the difference between impressions and different files. In the end he didn't even give me a quote. I went to another staples and printed some stuff (which the staff helped me through the steps on self print machines) and decided to give this place another try. I was refused for my own paper, on which the sign said to ask for help with my own paper, but nope, they just straight out said no. They didn't even ask if they can help with anything. I don't understand how they train their new staff, but it seems like they don't understand a lot of things. read more

This is the worst store I have ever been to. I had to return a product here since it wasn't compatible and the cashier "Jennifer" was kind of mean towards me she refused to take the item back even though it was under 14 days return period. She infact called her store manager " Eric" and he even told the same thing that he can't take it back since it's opened. Wait a minute it doesn't make any sense to me how can you be satisfied with a product or test any item without opening it. The manager seemed to be a white person, bald more like a Italian person how can they make their own rules you should abide by the Corporate rules I'm sure there is a certain protocol that you should follow. This particular incident happened on November 27th, 2019 around 7:20 PM I was shocked to see that being a Manager you spoke to me in this manner. Please try to avoid this location if you can you would be totally disappointed. Mr "Eric" you are such a disgrace to the Staples corporation you should better stop working for Staples if you don't know how to treat your customer's. I have already escalated this issue with the Staples district manager for the California region read more

The best thing by far about this store is Tim, the guy in the copy center. He's a rockstar. He's able to quickly and efficiently get things done and out of there. I told him I'd hire him for another company, and it sounds like I'm not the first one to offer. But he's staying. We all benefit from that. read more

This review is concerning the photo print center. Completely incompetent staff and dismal customer service. I ordered 100 postcards (double sided) from the website and went to this staples store for pick up. Our faces in the picture turned out too red, half of the borders were crooked, and the postcard portion (on the other side) was cut off. I let the technician know and he didn't seem to know how to fix it. I had to drive back to the store two more times with the same crooked borders issue and had to deal with the same technician once more. He really had no idea how to do his job. I finally just asked for a return, but, unsurprisingly, he did not know how to process a return and informed me a manager will take care of it the next day. One week passed and still didn't see the refund on my credit card statement. I called the store and they told me I had to come in person to get the refund (are you joking with me?). I ended up calling staples help center (from their website) Print & Marketing Services and Jennifer Reehill (a Customer Service Representative) was able to resolve the problem quickly. She was able to refund the full amount back to me over the phone. Currently: waiting for the refund to show up on my credit card statement. She said it would take 3-5 business days for it to show up. We shall see.... 8/1/17 update: Checked my cc statement over the weekend and was pleased to see that Staples processed a full refund back to me. read more

Really need more employees.......no one answered their phone after 6 calls waiting 5 -15 min per call. What has happened here ;-(

I called to ask if they carry privacy screens for laptops. I asked the person who picked up, who said she would check. After literally over five minutes on hold, a second associate picked up the phone and asked how he could help. I repeated the question. A few more minutes on hold later the same associate picked up and said they have a privacy screen I can cut to fit my laptop screen. Great. I drive over. When I show up I'm told by a different associate that they do not carry privacy screens. I don't hold Staples to a super high standard when it comes to client service, but this incompetence is disappointing. read more

This morning I ordered an office chair which the staff pomised would be assembled and ready for pick up at 2pm. I arrived at the store at 3pm and the chair still had not been assembled. This was surprising due to the large amount of staff who were working this morning. I spoke with Shannon who is the Manager and she told me to just wait 20 minutes. My schedule did not permit staying at the store for another 20 minutes. I asked if it could be delivered and she said no. I understand that things happen but the manager showed absolutely NO EMPATHY. I am a local business who shops at Staples frequently but I will think twice next time I need supplies. The manager needs to go to a customer service training class! read more

Just went to this store to pick up a few items. Saw a ream of paper advertised for $3 "after easy rebate.". To me, easy rebate means little if anything required on my part to get it. At the counter there is no rebate taken. I ask about this and am told " you'll get the information with the receipt and have to mail in or go online. That's what a rebate is." Though I don't consider having to go online for a $4.50 rebate "easy", I was okay until the clerks last comment. He would have been better to say something like " that's how this rebate works.". Instead he chose to go with a flip remark. Office Max will get my future business. read more

This review is for printing services. I came in to place an order for 8 color prints and was promised them at about 24-26 dollars and told to email them with the image I wanted printed, and that they would be ready by 6PM, a few days later. I showed up the day they were supposed to be ready, AFTER 6, and they had only one print ( I ordered 8) available in a more expensive print type than I had ordered. The employees provided bad customer service and they didn't really apologize, rather just looking at me helplessly. They told me to call back the next morning after 8am to deal with it; they couldn't even fix it then. I was promised that I could talk to the appropriate person the next morning though. If I called after 8, I was told, they would definitely be available. I called the next day at 8 and guess what? The person I needed to talk to wasn't there- they were on their "lunch" at 8 AM! I eventually got the prints, barely in time for me to make my trip, and I was given a discount but only enough to match the price of what I had actually ordered, nothing for my inconvenience. If this were all an honest mistake I would have been accepting, but throughout the employees acted apathetic despite their failure to give me what I ordered or when they had promised it to me. read more

The employees are very friendly and know where everything is. This store is great. The cool thing is they fix iphone screens for the 5,6,6s and the 6+ they also can replace the battery for the list phones above. They also sell a screen protector for your phone called Liquid Armor which adheres to the screen and makes the screen stronger (they will put it on for free when purchased.) If you can't find the product your looking for they will offer to order it for you and a bonus it is free shipping when ordering in the store. They also give you $2 back for recycling your empty ink cartridges. read more

I enjoy shopping at this staples for many reasons. Everyone is very kind and helpful. Carlos, in particular is very helpful and outgoing! This is the staples I will always go to! read more

Dismal print service. Printed business cards were not close to original file in resolution or color. Staff seemed unwilling or unable to fix. After a week of going back and forth, asked for and received refund from manager. Should've been a really simple transaction - one year ago I did this same process it was great. Something has changed since then, and I will never go back. I've been a happy staples customer for years until today. read more

Steven the manager was very helpful going above and beyond to help me purchase my new iPad that I just love

The folks at this Staples were so helpful! We shipped about 20 boxes on this holiday weekend when almost all other places were closed. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Thank you! read more
