Office Depot

My go to office supply store for ink and paper (reasonable prices). That, and Cartridge World. They have everything in here, and it’s fun to shop around. My last visit though, the cashier rang me up and just walked away after my CC cleared. I actually had to reach over the counter and grab my bag off the hooks. Seriously dude?

As a business owner, I often go here, I am writing this review for the most helpful associate they have named Mo, this guy is fantastic, so helpful, and extremely computer smart, he just helped me instead of buying a new cord for my computer, pointed out if I just remove the attachment my cord would still work, walk out without spending a dime (not that I don’t spend a lot here as a business owner) what a honest young man and everytime I go there I look for him because he is so helpful and knowledgeable, thanks Mo for being such a great experience when I shop here. They are most lucky to have you!

David K. is on-​point regarding this establishment’s physical exterior. It looks kind of rough so I didn’t walk in with high expectations. Walking through the automatic sliding doors though, I noticed that the inside looked just like any other office supply store. It was reasonably-​lit and I was greeted. Lots of choices for all kinds of things, from notepads, to desks and office chairs, to calendars and planners, to printers and computers. Well, you get the point.
My rating is for the ridiculous price point for aforementioned products. The cheapest planner I saw was about $ 10. Ummm, come again? You see, recently, I have made the choice to return to school and have been relegated to a college student’s budget. I looked around and noticed the employees were almost too attentive, probably mostly due to the lack of customers in their place of employment. I feel for the disappearance of these kinds of stores, but with the prices you can get online and at the evil WMart, why would you just voluntarily spend 3−5x as much for something here?
I got a planner down at the street for less than 20% of listed prices here at the evil, blue Big Box store, which I actually frequent quite a bit. I just can’t turn down low prices. My morals and frugality often conflict with each other, and unfortunately for mankind (but thankfully for my wallet), the latter almost always win.

From the outside this looks more like an Office Depot distribution center than an actual store. Don’t turn at the sign because it’s a little misleading… drive a little farther and you’ll see the entrance to the parking lot.
Prices here are extremely high, especially considering Walmart is just up the street (as Ben O. pointed out). I was looking for a VGA cord and they only had 6′ — 10′ cords. Really? I just need to connect my laptop to a monitor, not run an extension into the living room.
I walked around and browsed a few other things. Their sale bins are terrific, but you have to look for them.
I came in for a computer cord, thought about getting some sort of laptop stand, and ultimately left with a new shredder. Go figure.

This review is coming to you courtesy of price-​matching. When my router failed, I knew I had to get another one, cheaply and quickly. Office Depot is on the main drag, so «quickly» was assured. Cheaply was very nearly another matter — the Linksys WRT110 is $ 50 at
but $ 80 at Office Depot. I very nearly fled to Volde-​Mart, just up the road, until I realized I could ask for a price-​match.
So I went home with the router for $ 54 plus tax, the same morning, and didn’t have to spend a penny at The Store That Must Not Be Named.
