We also received a cease & desist from OD, so the scans are temporarily down. They will be back next week (likely Tuesday or Wednesday), but for now we are taking them down. Any items you added to your shopping lists will still be saved.

She sounds like a B^TCH. Likely she'll be all alone for the holidays!

 

 

If anyone downloaded a pdf of the scan, please PM me. I need it desperately

How about if we all give Jill a call and let her know what we think of her BS? Wouldn't it be nice to fill up her answering machine with all of our inquiries?

No, we won't go that far unless there are many more stores that do it.

 

I'd urge everyone to either shop elsewhere on BF, or if you do go to OD, only buy the loss-leaders that they lose money on :gd_orange

Due to their up-tightness and lack of concern for their customers, I advise that we all skip Office Depot on our list of BF places to go. Even going so far as to "demand" their ad-scans be taken off of the list...just ridiculous. The only way they will see the stupidity of their actions is by losing business.

ALL: NEW IDEA

 

BRAD/ROSS ANYONE:

 

CAN WE DRAW UP LANGUAGE FOR A FORM LETTER TO OFFICE DEPOT SAYING THAT THEY HAVE LOST EACH OF OUR BUSINESS AND THAT WE WILL NEVER SHOP THERE AGAIN? EACH ONE OF US COULD PRINT IT OUT AND SEND IT TO OUR LOCAL STORE OR TO HQ.

 

MAYBE THAT WILL HAVE THEM THINK NEXT TIME. STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

I think it's stupid, I saw some things in the ad that I wanted at the store, mind you that Office Depot is not a store I would have planned to visit if I hadn't seen the ad. I think they are cutting themselves off from the public that they need! I agree with Dragon, I may not go now. I'm sure the other stores know about the site and they are not bitching, I bet the read all the hype it generates about their store!!

Here is the corporate address for Office Depot. I bet if you search you can get the number for their corporate office. Why pick on the attorney? She is just following someone's instructions. Tell the corporate geeks what you think.

Office Depot

CONTACT US

 

Corporate Address:

Office Depot Corporate Support Center

2200 Old Germantown Road

Delray Beach, FL 33445

 

I won't be spending my money with them this holiday and nor will my brother.

I saw a thing or two in the ad that I was going to pick up, but I most likely won't go now. Doesn't seem like they really want our business!!! But here's a thought for Ross and Brad...it just says remove their trademark...can you just black out everywhere it says "OFFICE DEPOT" and leave the ad up? I would think that they can't do anything about that!!

Well crap! No BB, office max, or staples around here. The only "office" store we have is office depot. I did get the scans dowloaded but alot of good they're gonna do me now since I will NOT be going there. Why did they have to go and be such idiots about this? This is free advertising for them!:mad:

All you have to do is repost the ad with a different name, like Sloffice Shepot and they cant do anything if you just post the items and not the actual ad scans. its what bfads did...
