Adj: Expansive, but sometimes Expensive, except for the Bin Wins Staples has become a little bit of more things each time I stop by. Today was another Amazon return, just a small item. The Hubby told me about the bins in the back so after checking out Party City displays again (graduation season is almost here apparently) and a quick look at phone cases, I took some time to go "treasure hunting" at the back of the store since it happened to be a Thursday and everything drops down to the lowest price of the week. Bin wins is what this section called, the bargain hunting, "falling prices"-like bins. Very interesting and truly a mish mash of items, a real deal seeking and random finds type of experience. I ended up finding some cute erasers from Valentines day that comes with little boxes that I plan to save to fill with candies and give the INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED (wasteful but perfect in this case) animal erasers to the Samaritan's Purse Operation Child Christmas Shoeboxes project or a church we know who goes to Mexico at least once a year with similar Christmas shoeboxes filled with gifts for children in very hard to reach areas of Mexico. So that was a perfect find. There was just so much very random and some bizarre items, and of course items from as far back as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas so that Valentine's Day items seemed not so long ago, lol. Still it was kind of fun. I even found a box of individually wrapped ginseng and other Chinese herbs tea and dried fruits and goji berries that even have little bags to put them into for infusing/ steeping, that should be a healthy tea. One thing you can do is check for reviews on Amazon since these items are all returns or overstocks from there. The tea had good reviews and were still being sold online. Overall, it was a fun but kind of overwhelming experience as there were like 6 large bins or so, and while there was quite a lot of repeats, the FOMO was strong and caused me to want to check everything in every bin (almost). Hubby was right, it was strange in a good way, but the deals are there if you took the time and happen upon some things that you actually need and which have been discounted deeply. It is very much like falling prices according to a friend, but I've not gone there yet so I can't say for myself yet. At Staples, who knew?! read more

Staples is usually just an office supply store, right? Yes. But now it's much more than that. While going to return a couple of items from Amazon for the family, I decided to wander around and window shop a bit. What do you know? There's a new thing going on. Yup, a new feature at an old store, that makes it maybe worth visiting more frequently. Starting every Friday, bins in the back area filled with Amazon (and maybe a few other vendors') leftover stuff for $15 and going down each day until on Thursdays what remains gets priced down to $2. Really anything can be in these bins from holiday decorations to clothing to even phone protective cases. I'm going every Friday to check the bins in the back now. That aside, this is the place for office equipment and free e-wasting for electronics. We were helped by Robert today when doing the Amazon returns and then again when purchasing a few of the bargain bin finds, and he was an excellent and super friendly associate. Props to him for his great customer service, positive attitude, and hope we see him more in the future. read more

I absolutely love this Staples location! Anytime I need a banner or poster printed, this is my go to spot. The online ordering process is super easy. I can upload my images directly to the products I need, and everything is clear and simple. They're always quick with my orders, and I've never had an issue when picking anything up. Even if there's a line, it moves fast. The print jobs come out bright and high quality every time. And if they notice something looks off, they make sure it gets fixed before handing it over. On top of that, their prices are great compared to other stores. Consistently excellent service and great value. I highly recommend! read more

Staples - Printing Services Near Me - Sacramento, California

I like shopping here. I do have the app and enjoy the perks of it. It is free to use and being a teacher, I do get a few extra perks for showing my ID. Check out the app for the deals and steals when shopping at Staples. This location is clean and organized. I am greeted when I walk in and an employee checks in with me to offer assistance if I need it. I was informed about their recycling program with markers so I have been saving my inked out markers to take them in. I appreciate when businesses do this. There's plenty of parking in the lot right outside of the building. There's no problem there. I recommend you check out this Staples location for your school and office supplies. read more

Staples - Buys and freebies during teacher appreciation week - Printing Services Near Me - Sacramento, California

This is my second time at this Staples location and both times I have observed poor customer service. I don't ask for much because I'll just go and find what I need and take it to check out. This most recent time I was looking for a new printer. I found the service to be unprofessional and not very customer service oriented. I get it, we all have bad days but you work in the service industry. Customers deserve good service or at least try to be professional even if you're having a bad day. Your tone and delivery is actually important. read more

I was super pumped. read more

Staples - Printing Services Near Me - Sacramento, California

Would not recommend! I was here for an hour with my daughter because she wanted to look at the Amazon bins. I eventually asked to be let in to the bathroom (because unlike some states California locks their bathrooms & you need a code as a customer to use them) I was told by their employees that 'the bathroom needs cleaned so we cannot let you in at this time' so I put our merchandise down & left! What kind of place won't let customers use a bathroom because it needs cleaned?!? read more

I ordered products via online app and they haven't fulfilled the order. Sad that a large corporation can't get it together. Would not let anyone in for 2 Days. I could understand one day but for 2 days? For all I know it may be 3 days. Delayed my work. I had to go to Office Depot. Looks like Office Depot will be getting my business. Will be canceling my order. Thanks staples .....for wasting my time and work. read more

Staples - Staples closed for 2 days due to "network " issues. - Printing Services Near Me - Sacramento, California

Shredding service you have to manually feed sheets in. Took forever. Would not recommend if you have more than a few folders. Go somewhere where you actually get something for the money you spend. $145 and I still had to stand there and manually feed it for 30 minutes. read more

My previous experience has been good here but not today. Went to copy and print center. I asked for assistance with copy machine, employee said she was busy. I asked her various questions and seemed annoyed. Eventually I got my copies. I asked for heavy duty stapler. It did not work, she said to push hard. Still did not work, she discovered staple was jammed. Worse customer service. Manager came by laptop area as I was writing review, she was friendly but don't know if anything will be done. read more

Staples - Staples - Printing Services Near Me - Sacramento, California

Don't come here if you need to print something, tried to ask an associate and manager for help but either they had no knowledge in how a printer works or they didn't care. Service was awful right when walking in the front door and lost out on my money. read more

They need to get more help specifically for the Amazon returns. It's not fair to the customers or the employees that the cash register person is expected to go and handle Amazon returns after cash register transactions. No matter what there is a customer that has to wait. It makes the employees grumpy and rude and guess who that spills over to yep you got it the customer! I take all of my Amazon returns there and I'm tired of being treated poorly because their management makes one person do the job that two people should be doing. I know the easy thing to do is just to go somewhere else for my returns, but I think the greater lesson here is that customer service is a very important role and Staples needs to get better at theirs. No one wants to be treated poorly not the employees and definitely not the customers. Shame on you Staples for fostering an employees and customers don't matter type culture. Lots of businesses have closed down, and if Staples doesn't get a handle on how they treat people whether it be customers and or employees, they might see their stores closing down too. Get it together Staples before it's too late. read more

Came here to do an Amazon drop off (today years old when I found out you could do that here). Parking was a breeze and signs were posted to direct you where to go. They were pretty busy but had one guy working 2 registers (!¿¡?) he got us all in and out as fast and efficiently as possible. Normally avoid this place but he gives me hope. I'll pull up again if need be read more

Customer Service is awful here . The manager Kory doesn't know how to respect customers. I have never been spoken to so unprofessional in my life . Telling customers to mind their own business and using profanity. It's worth going to Elk Grove to be treated with respect and dignity. read more

Late afternoon sunlight coming through the windows of Staples gave the store a surprisingly calm atmosphere. I picked up a notebook and a few office supplies while watching customers quietly move through the aisles. It felt like a small pause in the middle of a busy day. read more

went to the Elk Grove ,Stockton Blvd store on Friday, March 6 and felt unfairly treated by a clerk. I called for the manager. The manager came and was ruder and cut me offf stating that he would help me and he would do it for free every time I would start to talk he would talk over me I I'm going to do it and I'm doing it for free. I had sought for service .at the counter he clerk said he couldn't find my other item on the computer and ask me 2 resend it and started to help others . When I received the code I moved close to the counter do that I could be helped and then all of a sudden told me that I could get the help that I needed at the self service, he said this while helping another customer I called for the manager,the manager didn't really listen to my complaint but told me he was going to help me for FREE and took me to self service where a lady was making @ 30 copier and only 1 machine was working the manager made me wait for over a half an hour a portion of that time he was charging up my iPad went and other cashiers. One of them had helped me earlier in the day and gave me excellent service. I finally tired of waiting, picked up my stuff and left the helped other customers that came in after me and sent them on their way. They were asking for self serve I was asking for counter service. He actually took them to the counter, had the clerk to help them while I waited for somebody to finish at the self service I had waited long enough. I wasn't feeling well and I was tired. I'm 76 years old and I feel that this was disgraceful. Has anyone else in this type or any type of review like this? read more

Very poor service. Employees just standing around talking to each other rather then helping customers. There own equipment was not working correctly. Not a friendly place.. read more

I am frequently in this Staples store for my classroom needs, crafting supplies, computer issues, printing projects, and Amazon drop-offs. I have always received attentive customer service from the employees and the very conscientious manager. If I need to find a product, ask questions, or load a purchase, it is done. The printing department often goes above and beyond their scope of required job tasks to help me get the best quality job. The employees are eager to help with the Staples app, so that I make full use of this resource and get my best savings. I am thankful for this neighborhood store's customer service! read more

Horrible Service every single time. Unprofessional and rude. This time Sales girl literally threw receipt, with no thank you and not even looking at customer. Really disgusting. read more

Awful service. As someone who has shopped with Staples for over 10 years, I am disgusted with this location! The managers seem to be training every time I go in, with the same people. I'm sorry but if we are still training after 3 months it gets to a point. I came in earlier today for an amazon return, the young asian man looked blankly at me. I waited in the line for him to call him up, but he just started. After a minute he called out, "are you ready?" with a pissy attitude. I then replied "Are you?" He then looked at me and rolled his eyes. I don't understand the customer service at this store whatsoever. Everyone here is only working with each other and not helping out with any customers. I spend a lot of money with you guys and I will no longer be returning to this bs location. Yall getting paid to talk to each other and listen to music during yalls shifts ! Not cool knowing yall serving older customers or people making bigger purchases like electronics and or office goods! Management needs to do better !! read more

Nathan either doesn't like his job, or he was having a bad day. Either way, an employee's attitude reflects and sets the tone of any transaction. Nathan acts like it's a pain ringing you up. No greeting. No banter. No have a nice day. Nathan's attitude today sucked canal water with a straw. He works in the tech area most of the time, and I suspect he's there for more than one reason... All I can say is, it's hard to find good workers with this generation. Good luck Staples. With a 2 Star rating for this location, they may be just another casualty of the future economy. read more

Staples - Meh. In the ghetto... - Printing Services Near Me - Sacramento, California

Although the location sets the tone for this store and although Staples doesn't pay employees enough to want to care, for what I use this store for, they are reliable. Printing. Just printing. Biz cards, posters, address labels I use as product labels, etc.. For those services this Staples has delivered on par with the dozen or so other Staples I've used over the years. I wish they offered a similar array of coupons that Walgreens photo and CVS photo offered. But their same day printing is reasonable and the quality is standard. read more

Store associate with short curly dark hair and small tattoos around her forearms was rude to my mom the other day. I usually never go to Staples but gave it a chance the one time because I got a gift certificate. Won't be going back. Horrible experience. Hope she learns. In the meantime do not shop here. read more

Came to drop off some electronics as I read online they take them for free. Went into the store and was told their bins are full and they couldn't accept anymore electronics at this time. Called another Staples to see if they were accepting before I drove down there. Was told that Staples employees should always accept electronics and bins being full shouldn't be an excuse. Other store's Staples employee said this store seemed to operate in a lazy fashion and that was exactly my observation. The two employees who I interacted with were just hanging out at the front doing nothing. Horrible customer service. read more

This location keeps improving its services and has become a great place for many things. I dropped off some e-waste and received a $5 store credit. The best and most reasonable service is their short run printing. I've bought printing throughout my career but the digital age has made it convenient for some good and bad suppliers but this shop is very well run. For my little 340 pieces it was the best purchase. The paper choices are limited but what they keep on hand is just beautiful. They turned my project around the same day, and because I registered with their app I received a huge discount. It can't perform some of the unconventional folds or folds on heavy cover stock but for small runs I managed it on my own. I've also used this stores' shredding service but my only concern is that the short staff cannot secure in its dumpsters immediately and my documents end up sitting on top of the receptacles behind the counter until they have time. Other than that, parking is easy and free and this is a one stop shop. read more

This is a convenient location and I can recommend it for basic office supplies (ink, pens/pencil, paper, usb Ports, printers). Grab and go stuff. However, I've been consistently frustrated and disappointed in their self-serve copy station. Even when I was the only person there, the machines still don't work quickly, efficiently, or at all. I had a ton of stuff to copy as I'm trying not to burn through all my ink during wfh. It took forever and a day....like literally 5 minutes to print a 2 page document from a usb. I had a ton of docs to print and tried to stay patient...was there for 40 minutes and printed about 150 pages. Ridiculous. That's inefficient and kinda scary when I'm trying not to stay in a store for a long time during COVID. The staff is nice, but it can't make up for inefficient and clunky old xerox machines. I packed up my stuff since I stayed 15 minutes past closing- they were nice enough to let me stay- and headed over to Office Depot (8 miles away) where I got everything done in rapid time on their self serve machines. unless I'm desperate- never.coming.back here. read more

I sent this review to Staples corporate based on my experience and thought I would share it with you all: I was in the store today at 12:15. When I walked in, I saw two associates at the front. I did not receive a greeting, which wouldn't be expected but it's relevant because of the incident and indicative of what's to come. I had three items in my arms that I was returning for Amazon. I said, "I am here for Amazon returns, do I go here?" and I gestured to a table area to my left. "Go over there," an employee responded. The employee in question was a short heavy set Asian female in her 20s. I walked over to the copy/scan area where there was a sign that stated, "Amazon Returns," and waited for my turn. The nice employee at the copy/scan desk let me know someone would be with her shortly. Great! After she acknowledged me, the short heavy set Asian female marched over from the cashier area to the Amazon return desk. As she was walking over, she was frowning and huffing/puffing and stuck her index finger out pointing at the "Amazon return" desk, then abruptly says, "Over there." I thought to myself, "I'm not an animal, don't talk to me like that," but I also need my returns processed and refund issued. I walk up to the counter and was waiting for her to give instructions. She condescendingly says, "you can put your stuff down." I follow her instructions and pull up the barcode for the first item. The employee rudely takes my item, puts the label on, and throws the item into the box. She then proceeds to stand at the computer with the scanner gun and stare at the screen. We are both standing there for what seems like an eternity - maybe 10 seconds. She does not make eye contact but is looking annoyed at her screen. Finally, she says, "ok, do you want to return the other items?" At this point, I dropped my politeness and said, "well of course, why do you think I'm here?" She says, "I don't know, I was waiting for you." I replied, "well why didn't you say that?" She then started to aggressively scan my Amazon return codes and putting the labels on my other two items. She was also aggressively tossing the items into the return box. Finally, she gives me my receipt after hurrying away from the desk and says, "that coupon is not good for ink," and walks away. I just left the store and no employee said anything to me. Long story short, I hope you're aware that you have a lot of competition: Walmart, Amazon, Office Depot, and other retailers. This particular Staples location is not very busy. With employees like that, I wouldn't be surprised if this Staples has a, "going out of business sale," soon. Thanks for listening to my feedback and I hope you take it seriously because at this point, I'm not sure I'll ever use that coupon because I would likely take my business elsewhere if employees like that exist. read more

Despite my previous bad experience, I chose to give this store one more try. I came in with a digital file of a picture that I wanted printed. I went over in detail with the sales representative the printing options we selected various aspects such as paperweight and lamination. She quoted me a price of $66 and I came back today to pick it up. They printed it incorrectly without lamination and they mounted it on foam core. When I pointed out the mistake, she said that lamination was not ordered. I told her they made a mistake and I asked her if she could laminate it and she said yes. That made me happy until she told me that I would be charged an additional $16 for the lamination. So in true fashion at Staples, they made a mistake in with zero customer service did not offer to fix the mistake which would cost them less than a dollar they tried to charge me to fix their mistake. Anyone looking for printing services I've heard that Walgreens on Freeport does an excellent job for half the price. read more
