The Order History information for Staples.ca orders and Catalogue orders does not necessarily represent the final order if any changes were made due to product availability, credit card authorization, tax and coupons. This information should be used only for your own reference; it can not be used for tax or billing purposes.
Your order number is included in your Order Confirmation email. When you order by phone an associate will give you your order number. It is a good idea to save your Order Confirmation email or write down the number for future reference. If you forget or misplace your order number you can get it by contacting Customer Service via email at bd.support@orders.staples.com or by calling 1-877-360-8500.
If you do not receive your order by 5 P.M. on the scheduled delivery date, contact Customer Service via e–mail at bd.support@orders.staples.com or call 1-877-360-8500. Couriers may deliver to residential addresses up to 7:00 p.m.
When you place an order for delivery, you will receive confirmation of your order via e-mail once your order has been processed.
The confirmation will contain the expected delivery date, your shipping address, your order number and any other changes to your order.
If there are any problems with your order that we need your help to resolve, we will contact you by phone. If we can't reach you right away, we will contact you by e-mail.

Staples charges sales tax on orders, based on the destination of the order, in accordance with provincial and federal tax laws. Staples has a business "presence" in each of the provinces or territories that we ship orders to, therefore we are required to charge sales tax based on the tax laws of that province or territory.
You can add coupons to your cart at any time.
Important Restrictions:
Definitions:
Staples.ca reserves the right to reject orders that use a coupon code that was obtained from a bulletin board or other Internet site. Staples.ca also reserves the right to reject orders that use a coupon code that was transferred from a direct mail recipient or that are in violation of any coupon restriction listed above. If our system does not accept your coupon code and you believe you hold a valid coupon, please call us at 1-877-360-8500.
At this time we are not able to accommodate requests to change packing slips that are sent with orders. The packing slip will list the item(s), quantity, and price paid.
Purchase Order numbers can be entered at the Payment Information screen when you place your order, or on the Review Order page. Please note that the Purchase Order number is for your records only. It will be referenced on your packing slip to make your record keeping easier.
We offer convenient, next business day delivery to our local trading areas. Once your order is transmitted to our warehouse, it is processed very quickly and shipped out for next business day delivery.
If you want to change your order, please let us know as soon as possible, by calling 1-877-360-8500. We will check the status of your order and attempt to make the necessary changes.
If your order has already been transmitted to our warehouse for shipping, we will not be able to make changes to the order and it will ship as is. The call centre associate will be able to assist you by placing a return or an additional order.
If you cannot call us, please send us an email and we will make the necessary adjustments as noted above.
Staples.ca will automatically let you know when an item is out of stock when you attempt to add it to your cart. We will also recommend alternative products in the event that we are out of stock in your area. In case of an out of stock situation, our call center associates are also always ready to assist you with selecting an acceptable substitute.
In the rare instance that an item becomes out of stock after you have placed an order, we will notify you promptly.
When you place your order on the Internet, your credit card is not "billed" until your order is actually shipped from our warehouse. Most orders are approved for credit; if there are any problems, our credit department will attempt to get approval from your credit card provider first, without bothering you with a phone call. Otherwise, the credit department will call you and let you know as soon as possible so you can decide on another method of payment.
Call us right away at 1-877-360-8500 or send us an e-mail. Most orders are transmitted almost immediately to our main warehouse and we may not be able to intercept your order. If your order is past the cancellation point, simply accept the order when it arrives and call us or e-mail us to generate a return.
If there are any issues with your order, you will be contacted by a customer service representative.
Please call us at 1-877-360-8500 or send us an e-mail through our customer service section if you need assistance with your order.

If there are any problems with your order that we need your help to resolve, we will contact you by phone. If we can't reach you right away, we will contact you by email.
At this time, it is not possible to link multiple customer numbers together. We recommend that you choose one customer number and use it going forward for all communications with us, including web site and phone orders.
Please keep a record of your "old" customer numbers if you have used them in the past for delivery orders - this will make it easier for associates to help you with any order problems or questions on prior orders.
If, for whatever reason, you find it necessary to keep and use more than one customer number, please keep careful records of these numbers so we can better assist you with order history or other questions.

details as timing may vary.

This is especially handy for customers who'd like to ship orders to many different locations on a regular basis. We can keep the additional addresses on file in our off site database for you. Not only that, but having a customer number ensures that you receive the latest catalogues as soon as they're ready, as well as any other special offers you might be interested in.

If you are an existing tax exempt customer and have a Staples customer number that is tax exempt, you must make sure to enter it on your account registration. When your order is processed, your customer number will be used and you will not be charged tax.
