Location is great. Staff is available to assist, but limited to the knowledge and understanding of the individual.

This Staple’s location is quite convenient. Situated on the west end of the downtown core it is one of the only big office supply stores in the area. It’s really hard to find staff to help you but when you do they seem friendly. It would have 4-​stars if they had more people to help answer questions.

OK selection but they always seem to be out of stock of at least one item I’m looking for. Fine, I’ll wait a couple of days and order it online.
I’ve recently had to use their copy center and they were great. Did what I wanted them to, delivered when they said and the product was as requested. That said they aren’t cheap but its inline with what you’d pay at any other print shop.
So what earns them the lowly 2 stars? Their utterly miserable manager. I wanted to exchange something and had forgot the receipt at home. To be clear, exchange… not a return. It wasn’t a special order item, I even told him I’d understand if he could only give me a credit value of whatever its sale price was. Fine, he’s being an effete corporate weasel and applying their policy to the letter. But he was just plain rude about it.

Staples has that commercial with the man leaping around the store to the «It’s the most wonderful time of the year» song. That’s me, without the kids. When I was still in school, I would eagerly await September to be able to load up on supplies: duotangs and notebooks, pencils and pens and post-​its — stationery appealed to me.
Staples SMELLS like new paper. It is addictive. I spend way too much time here on the strength of that alone. Now that I’m older I search the hallowed halls for report covers and leather business folders, rolodexs (not really) and binders and file folders. I still get tweely shaped post-​its — who can resist the hearts or speech bubbles? Not I.
The staff are also very helpful, and they have a decent electronics section which is unfortunately a little lacking in Macware. Regardless, it is my go-​to for printer ink and conferences. Staples really strives to be a stationery destination, and when you factor in the convenience of this location I’d say they go above and beyond.

What I hate most about parking at any store is having to pay for parking. I really detest paying for street parking while shopping; I mean adding 2 to 5 dollars to any outing or stop I make is complete absurdity. It makes me want to stay home or to just spend time at a mall. But at this Staples location you have massive amounts of parking room and its FREE. This is such an accessible location too; you can get to it from 11^th street or come down from 9^th avenue.
This is the first time I have shopped here and I was wondering why; as this was so convenient to get to plus as a huge store it had everything, I mean I left with 5 or 6 items I forgot I needed.
And as soon as I entered a staff member was on me like a sparkplug and helped me find every item, it was such personalised service. I noticed the manager really motivating staff to do this, and while I was at other sections of the store I greeted by other staff members and asked if I needed anything. When I am shopping for clothing I like the space but when I am in a store like this where I am an obvious technical nerd, I like to be pampered and listened to, the sales person did whatever he could short of holding my hand at the checkout.
I was thoroughly impressed and when I called Best Buy for a price check, Staples was 20 dollars under. I know that Best Buy will match prices but why drive all the way out there if I can simply purchase it here, thanks Staples, shopping with you was an awakening surprise.

I had never been to this location of Staples until just yesterday. A friend of mine was in a jam and needed some work supplies pronto. We headed over together.
First of all, I’d just like to say that this store is MASSIVE. They’ve got a bit of everything! I’m talkin’ all the stationary goodness you can imagine, PLUS everything from ‘How to create a Prenuptial Agreement CD ROM’ (I had a little too much time to burn…), to Christmas baskets of Lindt chocolates!!! The prices are extremely reasonable, and what truly stood out to me was the service! Within moments of us being there, an employee came and found us and asked if we needed a hand with anything!
This location of Staples is by far one of my favourites in the city. I’ll probably even be heading back again this week to load up on stocking stuffers!
