When you order from Office Depot online via Pampered Perks, every order gets free shipping no matter how big or small. So yesterday afternoon, I ordered some file folders and paper. I got my confirmation email around 4:30 p.m.

It's 8:30 a.m. and my doorbell just rang. Guess what's here? My Office Depot order!!!!

Thumbs up for Office Depot! I will continue to order all my office supplies this way. I don't have to leave my house again!
 
I just used them last week for the same thing and was very impressed! Soooo easy and very quick and cheap!

Okay, the one thing that bothered me is that I ordered 250 copies total and it was sent in two rather large sized boxes filled with a ton of packing paper...could have easily fit into one of the boxes. Oh well, maybe the shipping was cheaper for them with 2 lighter boxes...

Anyway, I totally recommend them as well!
 
Ooh, I knew it was free shipping for copies, but not for other supplies! Thanks for pointing that out, Deb!! I am so excited!
 
How much do they charge for color copies?
 
You can also request a purchasing card, so if you do go into the store, you get the same prices as you do online.

It worked great last Friday, when we had to purchase a new printer. We got an HP Photosmart for $150.00 It was on sale for $179.99 and we saved an additional $30. It is awesome and it wi-fi! No more backing everything up to print of my DH's desktop, I can now do it all from my laptop.:thumbup: :thumbup:
 
For color copies, I believe(but don't quote me on this) that it was .30 - and in the store it was .34...but I didn't know about getting the same price at the store with the card at the time.
 
I didn't realize that the prices changed from online to in the store. I have my rewards card with PC on it and its connected to my mastercard. I get 10% off in the store and 3cent b/w & 34cent colored copies. What am I missing? Anything?

If you order items through CC and Pampered Perks, you receive a discount. If you order the purchasing card, you receive the same price as you are quoted online.
 
Laurie,
