If you've already placed an order with us, we may be able to reschedule your order for a different delivery day that's more convenient for you. Please chat with us or call us as soon as possible at 800-333-3330 to speak with a member of our customer service team. However, if you would like the driver to leave your products (e.g., on the front steps), please fill out the Driver Release Agreement. The driver must take the note as proof of authorization. If you don't post a Driver Release Agreement, the driver will decide whether or not to leave the order unattended.
If the delivery cannot be made, your order will be returned to the local delivery center and another attempt will be made.

We'll provide you with an estimated delivery date when you place your order. Estimated delivery dates vary due to carrier shipping practices, delivery location and the items you order. When we use independent carriers to deliver orders, we base the estimated delivery dates upon information provided to us by the independent carriers. Products may be delivered in separate shipments.
We deliver between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. We cannot determine your exact delivery time, but we can tell you if your order has been shipped, and whether or not there are any problems with it that have been reported to us that could delay delivery. To check the delivery status of your order, visit the Order Status page on staples.com and type in your order number and zip code.
If you've purchased a software download, your order will be fulfilled via a separate email confirmation. This email will include download links and instructions on how to complete the download.
Delivery dates noted apply to orders placed by 5:00 pm local time (or 4:00 pm local time in stores and in limited locations across the country) and where credit approval and product availability are confirmed by 5:00 pm on the same business day that the order is placed. (Business days are defined as Monday through Friday, except holidays.) Items shipped direct from the vendor may require an earlier order placement time. You will be notified of the estimated delivery date in a confirmation email. (Not available for in-store orders if email address is not submitted.)
Note: An extra day may be added onto delivery for staples.com orders that have been paid for in a Staples retail store at the register, due to order processing in the store.

For your security and protection, it's best to have someone available to sign for your order between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Our drivers' delivery routes change from day to day so there is no way to determine the exact time your order will be delivered. If you'd like the driver to leave your shipment (on the front steps, for example), you need to fill out the Driver Release Agreement. If you don't post a Driver Release Agreement, the driver will decide whether or not to leave the order unattended. If the delivery cannot be made, your order will be returned to the local delivery center and another attempt will be made.

Staples ® catalog, Web site and U.S. retail businesses are operated within the contiguous United States for customers within the U.S. and therefore do not ship or bill to international addresses. (For more about shopping internationally, click here.) Staples delivers to street addresses (not P.O. Boxes or APO/FPO) in the contiguous United States only.
Certain Staples items originate directly from carefully selected vendors and manufacturers. In many instances, delivery personnel will deliver your order to your entrance. Other items are prestocked at warehouses around the country and delivered by a common carrier. For these items, a loading dock is needed. If one is not available, delivery personnel will bring your order to the tailgate of the truck; you will be responsible for unloading the items and bringing them into your building.

Yes you can. From the product page, click on the "Pick Up Today" button. (Note: Not every item sold in Staples stores and on staples.com is available for Pick Up in Store.)

(If an item is unavailable or stock is low, it will be marked as such and you will not be able to order. Stock levels vary by store.)
During the checkout process, your order will be sent to the store you selected. After a store associate has picked your item(s), you will receive a "Ready for Pick Up" email letting you know when your order is ready to be picked up. (Online items will be ready for pickup within one hour of the store receiving your request. If the order is submitted within one hour of the store’s closing time, your items will be available within one hour of the store’s opening time on the next day.) Store hours may vary. Check our store locator for your store's hours of operation.
Please bring a copy of the email and a valid form of identification to the EasyTech Counter/Customer Service Desk, or just look for the Online Order Pick Up Sign and see an associate. Please be sure to have your printed "Ready for Pickup" email, which contains your order number and bar code.

This is a policy from American Express that must be adhered to both by Staples and American Express customers. It is done to protect you from fraudulent use of your credit card account. It is in your best interest to call American Express and notify them of your other delivery address so your order can be authorized and shipped to you as quickly as possible.
If you do not call AMEX to notify them that you are using a different shipping address for an order, your order may be delayed. Our Credit Department will place the order on hold and call the billing contact for the AMEX card. If the billing contact person cannot be reached to verify the order, your order may be delayed.
