billcsho Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I waited in line for 35min before store open at position #8. They handout tickets for first page items. I got the HD and laminator. I was trying ordering online at home before I went out. It kept giving me the error message. There are bagels, juice, milk, etc inside the store (new one at Ann Arbor) and I can use the $10 off coupon card on my purchase. That is the main reason I went out instead of keep trying at home. Now the HD is only $20 AR for me. I am still trying to get other stuffs from their website. There is still some glitches. The Quicken Deluxe 2006 has no code for the $30 instant off. Does anyone konw the code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcsho Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Staples.com's order number: 1-800-3-STAPLE. They are hidding it on the web and the online chat is also gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htpc_guy Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I ordered the Maxtor drive and it didnt take the instant 50 off? I ordered at like 6:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youm0nt Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 and of course,the laminator is sold out.what about the 200gb HD for $29 AR?the website is very slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcsho Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I ordered the Maxtor drive and it didnt take the instant 50 off? I ordered at like 6:10The instant off requires a five digit code which is shown on the product page on their web. The coupon code works since 5am EST but their online order system was not.

forsberg Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I was getting errors everytime I entered my "coupons" (they weren't taking) and then when I tried checking out inputting my info I kept getting the system error over and over and over again! I think it was about an hour of getting system errors that I was finally able to complete my order Totally worth the hassle though cuz I got the laminator, 200GB HD, internal DVD burner, surge protector, 30-pack DVD-R, 30-pack DVD+R.

gymgirl975 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Thank you very much for posting this. We were able to get the harddrive off the phone since our nearest Staples is an hour away. I appreciate it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
