Curious, how does one make money on this? I do as lot of reselling and I haven't yet dived into "paper deals".
There was a time when staples had coupons and easy rebates for paper purchases. When they were applied together, it would net the purchaser an extra $1-10 from the rebate.

Nowadays it's a rare sight to see paper deals at all from staples.

You missed the boat.

It was wayyy more than $1-10. Even the last week of Staples rebates a $30 MM per transaction was possible.

The original post was marked "Expired" because people were getting the error page. Some people will not click on "Expired" posts.
For future reference, you can also mod alert a post, select "other" and explain that the deal is not dead. They will then move it out of DT and put it in HD.

I believe they changed it to 49 for free shipping even for plus+ now and not 25 anymore.
No. I had free shipping with 10 packs. It is still free after $25 for me.

WARNING - Please check your credit card. I just received a confirmation email of the order (I received confirmation yesterday), and rather than the price being $11.37 for the 3 orders I placed, it was $34).

The email gave me 30 minutes to cancel the order, so rather than fight about it, I went ahead and canceled the order. And the auto-restock. Not worth it to me.

So make sure you check your email (and credit card alert--that was what caused me to check my email, as they had charged it more than 3x what it should've been). Make sure you get the deal.

My pending charges and emails all look correct so far. Will keep an eye on this. Thanks.

I just received my email as well and was charged $12.19 for QTY of one. I am on with chat right now, but probably will cancel. Thanks for the heads up

I ordered one case with Auto Restock and have the confirmation showing $3.99, but just got shipping confirmation from Staples and the shipping E-Mail shows $12.19 which is also what they just charged to my card ($11.39+tax).

I contacted Live Chat support and was told it was a price mistake and there was nothing they could do, and was given a $10 coupon for my trouble. So they made it my burden to drive this case of paper to my local Staples to get my money back after it arrives. The customer service agent put in a stop request on the order so we'll see if that works (not holding my breath).

It's funny though, after the $10 coupon if I ordered it again it would be cheaper than I paid.. so why not just adjust the price and call it a day?

Per the agent:
Angela C.
prices are subject to change without notice, even on auto restock.

I told her to cancel and this was bait and switch. She then said:

Angela C.
Order is cancelled.

Have a nice day


Then hung up the chat.. that was it.

It still shows processing on my side. So not sure if she cancelled or not. Everyone should double check their online accounts for the orders even if no email was received.

Classic Staples... Im glad they went ahead and cancelled the 1,600 lbs of paper I ordered. Saved me a trip.

They rarely change the price after the fact but it has occurred in the past. They really should just auto-cancel mistakes.

If you wanna get technical, they are now charging the correct price. The $4 was the wrong price. laugh out loud
