"First time buyer from Office Depot. Prices were somewhat decent and helluva fast shipping. (Ordered early morning 6/27/02, arrived at my doorsteps on noon 6/28/02).

However, what irked me was the fact that their shipping package was . . . ummm, how do I put this. . . prehistoric! I received 2 packages. One package was in rather large paper bag with no shipping popcorn and 4 staples up top to keep the items inside. Second package was in an industrial strength plastic bag, also with no shipping popcorn. Although the items that I ordered were not physically damaged, it was dissapointing to see a place that sells shipping material come up with such a cheap alternative packaging.

I would order from them again but only if the price is right and the item that I am ordering is not fragile.

"Ordered a hard drive on monday that showed an in stock status and a thursday delivery date was indicated. Thursday no hard drive. A call placed on Friday inform me the iteam is out of stock and I am given another supposed delivery date next wednesday. I get the song and dance line that an in stock iteam was merely a failure to update their website. As this is the last part needed for a system build Office Depots sloppy customer service becomes real clear. I cancelled my order amd will get my hard drive from some I can trust.

"Bought Quicken Deluxe and Turbo Tax Deluxe. Threw in a pen to put order over $100, and used $30 off $100 coupon. With $50 Intuit rebate, I'm getting both for about $20 - hard to beat! Arrived ok. You can get good deals if you combine their $ off coupons and rebates!"

"Bought Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Would like to see some discounts on software but the convenience of the store being around the corner persuaded me to pay the extra few bucks. :)"
