How to save at Staples: the smartest ways

1. Reach $35 for free next-day delivery. As of September 2026, Staples advertises free next-day delivery on orders of $35 or more, so bundle supplies into one order.
2. Join Easy Rewards and activate offers. Sign up in your Staples account; the big wins come from bonus offers you activate in your account, such as 30% back in points on printers and 20% back on ink and toner (both online only, ending 09/26/26).
3. Clip Coupon Corner deals. The deals page lists clippable offers like 50% off Staples shipping boxes when you buy 5+, buy 1 get 1 50% off select packing tape and buy 2 get 1 50% off bubble roll, all valid through 01/02/27.
4. Stock up on paper during price drops. Staples Multiuse Copy Paper (8-ream) was recently marked down about 44%, and paper is one of the most frequently discounted categories.
5. Buy printers during rewards events. Combining up to 40% off select printers with 30% back in points can cut the effective cost sharply.
6. Save on print jobs. Custom print orders of $100+ earn 25% back in points through 10/31/26, which is useful for business cards, flyers and signage.
7. Watch category events. Coffee Month offers up to 25% off select coffee supplies, and the Chair Savings Event advertises an extra 20% off.
8. Use AutoRestock for essentials. Staples' subscription service automatically reorders the supplies you use regularly so you do not run out or pay rush prices.
9. Sign up for email and text. Subscribers get exclusive offers and special deals.

Shipping & delivery options

Staples focuses on fast delivery. As of September 2026, the site advertises free next-day delivery when you spend $35 or more. Orders under that threshold may carry a shipping fee, which is shown in your cart before you pay, so check the total at checkout. Large items such as furniture may ship separately, and orders can arrive in multiple shipments. Staples also runs a shipping center for sending packages, and delivery status can be checked in your online account.

• Combine orders to cross the $35 line.
• Add AutoRestock items to recurring orders to keep deliveries free.
• Check the Help Center's shipping and handling fees article for exceptions.

Return & exchange policy

Returns, exchanges for damaged or defective items and wrong-item reports are all started from the My Orders page in your account. Return windows and conditions can differ by category, especially for technology, furniture and custom print orders, so check the rules for your item before you buy and keep your receipt or order number. If something arrives damaged, report it quickly through your order history.

Rewards & membership explained

Staples Easy Rewards is the store's loyalty program. Members earn rewards on purchases, get extra rewards in bonus categories and gain access to exclusive member deals. The most valuable part is the rotating list of offers you activate in the Easy Rewards dashboard. Examples seen in September 2026:

The program also includes ink and toner recycling, which can earn rewards when you bring in empty cartridges; check the Help Center for current limits. Points history and available offers are shown in your dashboard.

Student, military, teacher & other discounts

We could not confirm a dedicated student, military or teacher discount on staples.com as of September 2026. Teachers and students still benefit most from back-to-school pricing, Easy Rewards offers and Coupon Corner deals. Businesses can look into Staples' business services and AutoRestock for recurring orders.

Price matching & price adjustments

We did not find the details of a price match policy on the pages we reviewed. If you see a lower price, ask a store associate or customer service whether Staples will match it before you buy, and check the Help Center for current terms.

Payment options

You can save payment methods in your Staples account profile for faster checkout. Accepted payment types are shown at checkout, and Easy Rewards can be redeemed toward eligible purchases.

When Staples has its biggest sales

Staples typically has its strongest deals during back-to-school season (July through early September), Black Friday and Cyber Monday for laptops, printers and chairs, and early-year events when businesses restock. It also runs monthly themes; in September 2026 that includes Coffee Month with up to 25% off select coffee supplies and $19.99 K-Cup pricing when you buy 2 or more, plus 30% off select Halloween decorations. Printer and ink rewards events rotate frequently, so check the deals page every week or two.

Office furniture shoppers should watch for chair events such as the current extra 20% off, and look at featured price reductions, where chairs like the Staples Dexley have been marked down nearly 50%.

How to use a Staples promo code

1. Add items to your cart on staples.com and sign in to your Easy Rewards account.

3. If you have a printed or emailed promo code, open the cart and enter it in the coupon field.
4. Click apply and confirm the savings in your order summary.
5. Check exclusions, since many offers are online only or limited to specific brands.
