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.

Bulk paper
February 1, 2016

I get my bulk paper computer supplies here because they are the cheapest; as well as they have a great supply of school supplies at pennies on the dollar right before fall school starts.

Help?
January 20, 2016

Office Depot has been advertising for "Help Wanted" for over three years daily in my local community. Clearly they need it, the store is always busy and never more than two people working. If they need help so badly why has it taken three years to get someone hired? The ads say to me that they are either turning over very quickly or they are just phishing for people to target for ads. Get it together Office Depot!

I went there last week out of chance. Nothing has changed, though. Expensive items, good selection, but expensive.

Ok
January 10, 2016

I would only suggest using Office Depot for basic office supplies or school supplies. I would not recommend purchasing any electronics of any type and definitely not recommend purchasing office furniture. It's overpriced and cheaply made. Their office furniture is as cheap made as IKEA

Mark up on most items
January 7, 2016

Almost everything in office depot can be found at walmart or stores like that for much cheaper...
Officedepot seems to cater to the richyrich that will just buy it because it has a high price tag so they think its a good item.'
Little do they know walmart has the same item for 2/3 the price..

Once upon a time I used them a lot, in part because they had an excellent friendly hands-on manager. This man did not promote a very rude employee with a criminal background. The crook hired a good lawyer and sued the parent company, which proceeded to fire the loyal manager and reward the crook.

Most people do not care about this sort of thing, I do.

The friendly manager made up for limited choice and high prices.
Once he was wrongfully fired I never went back.

My small business has shopped at Office Depot for years, but no more. When I discovered I couldn't access my account or place orders online with either Safari or Firefox, I call OD's technical support, and was informed that OD's website doesn't support my Macintosh OS version. So I was resigned to having to place delivery orders by phone and access my Worklife Rewards by phone. That's bad enough. But then when I placed an order by phone last week, the representative, after repeating back all the item numbers I had ordered, somehow forgot to actually order half my items! And since I couldn't get any confirmation until the order shipped, I had no way of knowing that half the items had not been ordered! Worse yet, they split my order, so when I received shipping confirmation for some items, I had no way of knowing the others had not even been ordered! This is just not worth the hassle! Since OD clearly doesn't care about my business, I'll just have to take it elsewhere.
