Staples

I was actually surprised that it was a large store. It looks so tiny from the outside. The store is well organized but I had trouble finding my ink toner for my laser jet and I must have come at their busiest time because I could not get any help for a while. Every person I asked was serving a customer. I am the shy type so I just do not like to bud in when someone is helping or talking to a customer. 20 minutes later someone helped me find the correct toner. Other than the wait I always go to staples for any office equipment I need. My suggestion is to go during non busy times.

I went here today in a tizzy trying to figure out how to do something that was quite simple but time sensitive. The staff here are fantastic! They helped calm the crazy lady and showed me exactly what I needed to do. A big thank you and Kudos to the copy & print staff!

Now, um, usually I don’t do this but uh…
Go head’ on and break em off wit a lil’ preview of the review…
No I’m not trying to be rude,
But Staples I’m feeling you
The way you got the supplies you do
Reminds me of my elementary school
That’s why I’m all up in yo deals
Tryina get them pens for reals
You must be a football coach
The way you got me paying for gear
So baby gimme that tape tape
Lemme give you that cash cash
Running your paper through my printer
Bouncing on 24’s
While they say on the radio…
It’s the review of Staples
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rolling that toner
got every man in here wishing
Sipping on crayons and glue
I’m like so what I’m drunk
It’s the freaking weekend baby
I’m about to have me some fun.

I’ve been working at a conference nearby this Staples and have made several trips per day here.
It’s big and clean and has a good selection of office electronics and office supplies.
They also have an in-​house printing facility. The prices are quite ridiculous. We paid over $ 100 for 4 poster sized colour print outs (on regular paper). They are able to print quickly though (if you pay even more!) and the staff was knowledgable.

Now I’m certainly not in the business of reviewing office supply stores. Having said that I looove office supplies. Label makers! Markers, highlighters, pretty folders and paper trays…*happy sigh*…anyway, I was in desperate need of locating ink for my printer. I tried phoning a few Grand & Toys (who, after hanging up on me instead of picking up the phone properly, being pretty unfriendly and seemed to not give a shit, and then said «Yeah, we don’t have any of that in stock. You can try online if you have a credit card.» When I asked if they’re able to check if any other locations have it in stock, I was told that every Grand &Toy in Canada is closing at the end of June. I guess that explains that. So I looked online, called the Staples nearest me (not terribly close, but hey, I could still ttc it there) where I was helped by a really friendly and informative guy this morning in electronics section, who not only helped me narrow down what I needed, provided useful, money saving information. I headed in and was approached by a really helpful sales guy in store right away. He gave me even more information (like if I get an XL toner, it provides me with more ink — had no idea!) and showed me that they have their own Staples brand so I don’t have to pay the price of a kidney to be able to print at home! YAAY! Also, when I was trying to find another aisle, another friendly guy approached me (hands full of stuff, still went out of his way to help) and showed me where I needed to go. Very impressed. Will definitely be back (hoping the Martha Stewart paper trays will go on sale because I don’t want to pay $ 14 a pop for one)!

Finally a good Staples Store. Good selection of office supplies and computer accessories. The staff at the store were very friendly and patient (answered all the annoying questions I asked). Would recommend this store…

It’s hard so hard to find a good Staples in the city! After being very disappointed with the notebook selection at the Grand and Toy in the Eaton Centre (worst), I walked over to this spot at Dundas/​University. The store doesn’t look so big from the outside, but it’s huge and has the usual office supply selection/​furniture/​snacks/​etc. The building seems to be under construction at the moment — but the store is still open.
