Office Depot Reviews Summary

Office Depot's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, largely stemming from poor customer service and operational inefficiencies. While some customers appreciate product availability and have encountered helpful staff, the overarching sentiment highlights frustrations with delayed deliveries, ineffective returns processes, and unresponsive customer support. Many reviews point to unresolved issues regarding order accuracy and lack of clarity in policies, leading to feelings of distrust. To improve customer retention, Office Depot should prioritize enhancing staff training, streamlining service processes, and ensuring accountability in their delivery and returns systems.

I set up a business account for my sales team and it makes reordering, tracking items, monitoring budget, and just generally taking care of business much easier.

DO NOT BUY!
May 2, 2018

Around March 23,2018 I bought a box of paper from OFFICE DEPOT. They offered a $25 rebate. I asked the clerk specifically if I had to use the rebate at any OFFICE DEPOT / MAX stores and he said "NO" and that I could use it at ANY store or just cash it.

Well today is May 2 and I STILL do not have the rebate so I chatted with them and they said i should have it in 10 days BUT that I would have to use it at their stores ONLY!

Again that is not what I was told originally!

I run a very successful mail order business for the last 44 years and if I operated like this I wouldn't be in business.

So please BEWARE of this store and DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

I shop here a lot
March 22, 2018

My online experience is better than the floor sale people in my local office depot on Caroline St, Edgewood Atlanta Ga, I ordered a desk online for pick up and an hour later it was ready get to the store and the manager has an attitude. I thought when you place an order online and request to pick at the local store i thought the item should be ready took them 20 minutes to pull my item. I work from home so I am always in the store buying paper or ink and headset. Not enough sale floor people i saw 1 girl with dreads and she seem to be running the floor to the register. The print side is always friendly and very helpful. Need new management the one I dealt with is too comfortable and unprofessional.

Was looking for a certain air purifier and to be honest I never thought to look on office depot. 3 major stores I went to said they had the air purifier but it was out of stock? Ummm ok... that means you don't have it. I decided to google for it and low and behold it said Office Depot had it. For starters I never shop at Office Depot. We don't even have one where I live. To be honest I never thought a place like Office Depot would have it, but they did! So I ordered it on a Sunday. I decided to pick the cheapest shipping. I didn't care if it took 5 to 7 days to get it, I just cared that I would get it. Ok so they shipped it out and I got it MONDAY! I never seen such fast shipping before in my life. I can only assume because the nearest warehouse is 4 hours away from me. They impressed me by shipping it out right away. The package arrived unscratched and no flaws with the product either. I quickly did the warranty on my new air purifier and been using it since they delivered it last week. I don't know about how good their customer service is or if they have good office products... what I do know is they really impressed me with their fast shipping. Thanks Office Depot!

It often takes more than a couple of extra to arrive. Not sure if they drivers have too many, forget small packages on the truck, but I've waited a week for a case of paper That's my only complaint.

Pretty Neat
December 3, 2017

I think this is a pretty great store, especially in you need supplies for your child school presentation or like a science fair. Easy to navigate through and helpful staff. Just not my all-time favorite craft/supply store. I still prefer Michaels craft store

I have purchased from Office Depot many times because the items I purchased come right when you expect them. I love their free delivery too and the items I buy, even if they are on clearance, would have the qualitybyou expect. I am happy with Office Depot purchases.

Appreciated return
November 7, 2017

I purchased a tablet that was cheap but it did not work. The power cord would not stay in, lots of problems. Office depot was polite about it, listened to me and accepted the return without a hassle. Good on ya.
