Do we get a discount on everything there or just certain things? I was thinking of going to get some things this weekend to be more organized. I am thinking a file cabinet for sure to get all these boxes out of the corner of my room. I cannot decide how many drawers though?

What? You get a discount there once you become a consultant? Oh the benefits of PC are awesome!
 
Not sure though I would like more info on that too. Maybe asking Office Depot? I have my little card printed out already too. lol.
 
EDIT: I am asking my Best Friend She works there. :D
 
We get "contract" pricing on everything at Office Depot, when we use the credit card that we registered online (Consultant's Corner > Managing Your Business > Pampered Perks). You should be aware, however, that the contract price is not always lower than a sale price. I don't know if they can check this for you at the register. (Everything rings up as usual, then when you present the credit card, the computer changes the prices.)I believe that the OfficeMax discount works the same way, but with the little printed card instead of a credit card.
 
Yes, officemax uses the print out card. I had to make a bunch of copies the orig. price is .07 a copy PC discount is .04 a copy.:)
 
I believe it's something like 7%, but if it's on sale, you don't get an additional discount.Color copies are .17 each (at least until the end of the year), which is TERRIFIC!
 
In the past few weeks I have shopped at Office Max a few times and been very happy with the discount I received with the card. For example, the labels I like to use for the invitations are usually $11.99. I was charged under $8.00. That is a great savings!

Okay this sucks!! The closest office depot or office max is over an hour away. We only have a staples, I would love to get coppies for $.04 a copy. ugh!:(
 
Amanda, if you take in the OfficeMax card and a page from Consultant's Corner outlining the benefits, sometimes Staples will honor the discount - at least on the copies, anyway. My Exec does this all the time. I think her Staples even has the page laminated there at the counter so she doesn't have to carry it with her any more.
 
Thanks Ann, I am going to have to try that. Sometimes it sucks living in a small area!
 
Also, if you don't need it the same day, you can send your file in by internet and they will print and send it to you. not sure what the delivery charge would be or if they would do that for prints, but might be worth checking out too.
 
Ange I thought about that, and I am going to look into it, however paper can way a lot, so I don't know if I will be saving any money!!!
 
If you send it electronically to Office Depot, there is no shipping charge. You'll get it in about 2-3 days. I've gotten a bunch of printouts that way.
 
I got a discount on ink and copies at Office Depot, but not on the file boxes and hanging file folders I bought.
 
Amanda you can order from Office Depot online via the CC link. If you register online and add in a credit card number they'll ship free to your house within two biz days. HTH!

Sometimes my reg office Depot discount is way better than PC. I think it's called Life Rewards?? not sure though.

PC discount can't be used on computers though, checked that out already. In fact I emailed the man, Todd and he sent me some very helpful info. I'll go see if I can find it ;)

You will need to register a personal credit card to use the Pampered Chef program. You can register to purchase online from Office Depot for delivery or register your credit card for use in our stores thru the Pampered Perks web site. The discounts that the program offers are below. Please note that the program does not work in conjunction with other Office Depot rewards programs like worklife rewards store cards.


Pampered Chef Consultants receive an average discount of 10% both online and in our retails stores. This is based on the average daily pricing posted on our public web site www.officedepot.com. Please keep in mind that this is an average and that some items of the 25,000 we sell will not have additional discounts. In addition, electronic items and computer related goods are not eligible for a discount as we feel that they are already competitively priced in the marketplace.



Here are the program details:



Next day free delivery

10% average discounts (please note that this is an average)

No minimum order size for free delivery

.03 black and white copies

.17 color copies (current promotional pricing)

35% off print and copy services



Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes, and color copies, if they go back up, are still 39 cents instead of 89!
 
WOW, Thanks for that info Liz.
I never knew you could send a doc in and have it printed, and even sent to you!
My computer broke a few months ago, and I can't get my printer to work for the life of me, but I can now print out my docs and have copies made at once!
WooHoo!
