Complaint Review: Staples - Framingham Massachusetts

  • Staples 500 Staples Dr Framingham, Massachusetts USA

Staples Company uses deceptive practices such as bait and switch. I ordered 2- 1 TB external hard drives and received 2 hard drive cases instead. The description said nothing about a hard drive case. Customer service said there was not room for the word case in the description. Perhaps if they omitted the words 1 TB Hard Drive from the description they would have room for the word Case.  Framingham Massachusetts

Company uses deceptive practices such as bait and switch. I ordered 2- 1 TB external hard drives and received 2 hard drive cases instead. The description said nothing about a hard drive case. Customer service said there was not room for the word case in the description. Perhaps if they omitted the words 1 TB Hard Drive from the description they would have room for the word Case. I emailed them a copy of my order summery and their order page both which said 1 TB hard drive no mention of Case in them. Here is Staples wording exactly "Startech.com® 1TB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Black)" I don't know how Staples gets hard drive case out of that. Manager told Customer service rep they would take them back, how generous, Thanks for wasting my time, I could have  picked up a similar deal while I was waiting for the Staples order but thought I had it covered. Don't depend on Staples, they might only send the box not the contents. Thanks for nothing.

Staples Policy

AUTHOR: Daniel - ()

POSTED: Saturday, May 31, 2014

The policy under this guideline, is that you can return the product TO ANY STAPLES STORE with a copy of the invoice that came inside the box, or a oringinal receipt. the store that i work for in new jersey would proccess returns like this on a daily basis, not really a big deal, except the way you rush to report a scam report on it.
