Office Depot will not match prices below what they say is their base cost for the item. If you find the same item somewhere for $89, but Office Depot records show their base cost is $102, they will only reduce your price to $102, not $89. One more note.

We have had reasonably good success at Office Max but they too will not always match prices but they also don't try to mislead you that they will. And they have matched or beaten Walmart's price a number of times. And that is one of the many many reasons that we never shop at Office Depot or Staples or Ink Stop.

However, try to use two coupon codes that apply to their website!! I went so far as to "chat" as well as call and speak to a human being and still ended up bewhildered as to why they BOTH didn't apply!

Qualified competitors! Have you done an investigation on Sit N Sleep? ("We'll beat anybody's advertised price or your mattress is free!") I've always wondered how are it would be for a competitor to advertise ridiculously low prices (unreasonable) and print their ads, and shell out this bragger's inventory for what they promised. Aha!

We walked out of a chain store that pulled this crap on us, contacted our state attorney general's office and have been assured they will investigate and bring appropriate charges.
