Office Depot

A short while ago it became apparent that I was in desperate need of a new computer chair. I stumbled upon Office Depot looking for a bargain, and found my chair, and so, so much more.

Shopping With Office Depot-
If you have office needs, home office needs, or just plain needs, head to Office Depot.

The selection is massive and can be navigated in a number of ways. Narrow your choices down either by the selection bar at the top of the home page, or by a series of departmental hyperlinks also on the home page.

I started my search by looking at chairs (go figure) and then had to enter my zip code so that local inventory could be tracked. This was a bit of a different feature than I'm used to for shopping.

Once you're in, the category you choose, is broken down into sub-categories. Think everything you ever wanted to know about chairs, chair parts, etc. If you just want plain chairs, whew, they have those too.

A nice feature to speed up your shopping is the ability to view the products as text of thumbnail images. I wanted the thumnail versions, and they loaded surprisingly quickly for the vast number of options.

Details-
The details available for shopping will blow you away. They sort of read like a technical manual, with everything you want to know about dimensions, weights, suggested usage, colors, features, functions, warranty, etc. It's probably the best detailing I've seen. You can also see selected offerings in 3-D view.

-Coordinating or suggested products are also provided for easy selection.

Ordering-
Ordering at Office Depot was a painless affair. I was pleased to see a promo on the front page for free shipping on orders over $50.00. This kept costs down and definitely got me to pick up all kinds of things I needed for home.

Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX, Diners Club, and a score of Office Depot cards.

I bought a dell printer form Office Depot on sale for $60 since one of the staff members claimed that it was the most efficient and fast ink printers. When I brought it home to set up, I did not find the top of the printer. When I brought it back with the receipt for a refund, they did not accept it and told me that I should contact Dell. Now I'm stuck with a printer without a top and $60 less than i started with. Not recommened.

This store of Office Depot (which is right next to my house) is great but still needs some improvments with the cleaning of the store. The store has a great service but the selection of items in store lacks. I go there just because it is near my house in New York, but for other people, i would say - go to another Office Depot store. Overall Office Depot's prices are very hard and it's also very hard finding good deals there. Not very recommended. 3/5

PROS: Good location and good service
CONS: Prices, Cleaning
