Ron: I don't buy office supplies at Staples anymore. OK, I buy paper. Ink is horrendously expensive. They took the stuff I did buy off the shelves. I'm waiting for a sign that says 'Help close this store - Buy online". I use their copy machines, but TOO BAD 3D printing isn;t available. The place I used to buy from morpfed into Yuk, so I have to buy from lots of places now.
Some items:
1. top opening plastic string envelopes (they now carry side - removed the other)
2. 1 and 2" Post-it tape - Their copy center uses what I use, which they removed from the shelves. Now a smaller more expensive roll.
3. Pilot pens/refils - Nicest pens I ever owned
4. Staedtler fine markers - Beats Sharpies any day
5. scotch tape - better prices elsewhere
6. Rubber bands (quality issues) - (working on it) Never knew rubber bands sucked.
7. Binder clips (OK)
8. post-it notes (OK, but better deals elsewhere)
9. Shipping tape: both clear and Mylar (OK, but better deals elsewhere)
Ship to store is always possible or order at store. I think shipping is free if you order at the store.
Any questions I try to ask their computer techs gets a blank look.
