A. Staples Advantage works with corporate accounts such as . We create a program for you based on the items you use most often. We price them aggressively and continue to work with you to monitor your usage. We adjust pricing according to your needs and we also quote items based on larger amounts or special circumstances. Our goal is to create a program for you that runs on a consistent level of pricing. It is always a work in progress.

The Staples store runs on a retail driven platform. The pricing goes up and down based on the time of year and promotions they run. What is less on this site one week will be higher the next.

They do not allow for pricing deviations. Everyone pays the same price and it changes from week to week. There are times when they are running a store sale or loss leader when an item might be cheaper than your contract but only for a short time and it usually is more of a retail driven item. (printers, software, retail office supplies that are not a standard) We have done studies where if you order from Staples.com and Staples Advantage, overall there is at least a 25 to 30 percent savings with us. We work on a total program not item by item. Our goal is for you to have confidence in your Staples Advantage Program, the Retail store should be an enhancement to this program not a competitor.
