Staples are ‘office stationers,’ but when ive visited a store it seems to offer more. They sell virtually everything for the office, and stationary is just one component of it. The big ticket items includes computers, furniture, coffee makers. They also not only target small and major businesses, they sell items both individually and in bulk, to students and school pupils. Alongside products for businesses they also have of range of services available, like photocopying and faxing. These services have been cheaper than my local photocopying specialist. Only once did I return a product, and to their credit they gave me money off one of their other products. I think it's a compliment to them that they will do this, and overall I rate this retailer.

Well presented website. Easty to use! I figured out most of what I needed from the information, and manuals provided on the site, but called them to check on the details. A goodtelephone manner, , they helped me put together a DCC package that suited my layout, and my wallet! With little computer or electronics knowledge, I wa put me at ease, and was explained things in simple terms.
