      Office Depot’s handling of a Business Select subscription cancellation and refund for an HOA has been deeply disappointing. The subscription was cancelled just days after the trial period ended, yet a charge was still processed. Three documented calls were made between August 2024 and January 2025, with assurances during each that a refund was in progress. Despite these repeated confirmations, no refund was ever received. During the third call, a representative noticed that the second phone call had not been properly documented—an odd issue, considering the case number from that call was correctly recorded. Due to this inconsistency, the case was escalated in February 2025 to Robert Brown in Executive Customer Relations. He also confirmed the refund would be issued. However, no refund followed, and a follow-up email received no response. This experience reflects poorly on the reliability and professionalism expected from a company of this size. Businesses should honor their commitments, especially in matters involving billing and customer trust. Based on this experience, even signing up for the free trial of the Business Select program is not recommended. A resolution is still being sought to receive the refund promised months ago.

      I ordered a new file cabinet for my new office on Dec. 31. It was to deliver on Jan 02. At 9:00am tracking said it was delivered at 5:52AM & "left in a safe place". A chat was started to find out where "a safe place was" & who signed for it. After a lengthy chat, the agent said Office Depot's carrier Veyer said it was "lost". A credit would be issued & I ordered a new one. At 1:15 that afternoon it was delivered, but damaged & completely useless. Now a lengthy phone call later, the new one would be delivered on Tue 7th & bad one picked up. Lengthy phone call on Wed. New one was awaiting approval, then on hold, then on backorder. When a confirmation of cancel wasn't sent, another call, it's not on backorder. It's delivering next day. Tracking said "out for delivery" for two days. Next week, they refused to cancel & it would deliver Tue. Tuesday, yes it's on it's way. Later that day, no it won't deliver, it's in transit to them. The next day they will cancel but will take ***** hours. It delivered that afternoon, but no arrangements to pick up the damaged one. The return has been since scheduled several times & each time, no show & no call after having to give them from 8:30am to 5pm to show up. It was scheduled to be picked up on the 30th again. The driver showed up at the front office on the 29th. She was directed to the opposite side of the building. She drove off, left. Now they say they will pick up on the 30th, if not they will pick up on the 31st between8:30am to 5pm. Until they get it back, no credit for it. Numerous times they said they did an ******************** would call me in ***** hours to get it resolved. They never called & I found out that's because there were No escalations done.

      Dear BBB,

       

      I advised the customer to discard the defective cabinet, and we will not require the customer to return and will issue full refund. I spoke with customer, and they agreed with this outcome.

      I am contacting you to lodge a formal complaint against an employee supposed " manager" at the Glen Carbon location 6449. This incident happened on 1/25/25 around 12:15pm. I am a senior citizen who has been down ill for a week. On my first outing I came to your location with 3 bags of material to shread. Entering a youg lady with sweatshirt & jeans no uniform was behind the counter. I waited my turn. From the time I walked in I noticed a sour look on her face. So when it was my turn I told her what I wanted. She instructed me to move the items over to weigh. I did and when I did I stated " Hey smile is Saturday" trying to be nice & cheer her up. She stated " OH GEE JUST WHAT A WOMEN WANTS TO HEAR" very snarky. I commented I guess so. I dropped the bags on the counter. She weighed the material and then told me, now you take them over to the containers, dump it in and come back to settle up. I did, there was a very large lady checking out. When done I told the lady who checked me out have a blessed day. I told the so called manager she needed to learn how to deal with "customers". Then she told me " THIS IS NOT THE 70'S, YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO TREAT WOMEN. At that time the large lady was standing there with a smile on her face. I asked for manager info. She stated " your looking at her" (again an attitude). I " lost it" and told her to "F" off & then said I wanted a local rep. I was given this card by the large lady. 1) I was trying to cheer this person up. I never had or would "any" intention of a " ******" comment. With her attitude it was taken that way. 2) When a youg person who has no "life" experience, should never assume to tell there Senior out of " SIMPLE" respect how they should act or be anytime or anywhere. 3) You NEVER insult a "customer". Maybe, sorry you feel that way, do you wish to speak to a superior, etc. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER treat a senior citizen, let alone anyone else like this. 4) I "expect" a written apology from her.

      My wife and I had just bought a Christmas present for the widow of my best friend, and we were anxious to get it to her before Christmas. We walked into the ***** drop point in Office Depot at ******************** and explained the situation to ********. We didn't have a box or cushion wrap or tape or anything except the gift to be sent, and ******** was very helpful to point out where we could find these things in the store. She also helped us to select a shipping method which would get our gift there on time for the holiday. ******** was very professional and polite as well. Thanks to her, I will be going back to Office Depot for my future shipping needs.

      We had an old Gift Card in the office that we were trying to find the balance on. The online ** check system rejected it, likely because it was old. After 3 calls to ***************** and a run around by the automated system, I finally got a live person to talk to. Took here awhile, but she finally came back saying the balance was $82.60. I asked if it had to be used in-store, as I'd already tried to use it on an order on-line and the system said that this gift card could not be used online. After some more discussion, she said she could place the order from her end and apply the gift card. Great! She pulled the items together in and order, confirmed the amount - $82.09 - then asked for a store card or a credit card, explaining the system required that even when the ** was more than the order. So I gave her my company ****. The order went through - she SAID on the ** and I would receive an email receipt shortly. It came in just as I got off the phone. And, the receipt showed the entire purchase as charged to my company ***** I called back **************** again, went round & round the automated system, finally getting a human. Asked her to check the order, and if it was charged to the **** to please cancel it. She went off for awhile, came back and said the order could not be cancelled. No good reason why not, as it had been placed less than an hour ago. I asked for a supervisor, sorry - no supervisors available. She did say she would place a REQUEST to stop the order, but that was all. She said we could return it after delivery. RIDICULOUS! Told her we were not wasting our time to return an order they LIED to us about. And we would stop the charge on the *** We have used Office Depot for many, many years, but will NOT use it any longer. We'd rather pay more at Staples or ****** than deal with the terrible **************** and being lied to by **********************.

      Dear BBB,

       

      I've gone ahead and fully refunded the customer **** card back for $82.09 and apologized and advise her to allow 2-10 days for the refund. We will not require the customer to return any of the shown delivered items which means she will get the order for free as a token of our appreciation.

      I had the worst experience at the ************ ga location. ****, the manager antagonized me and assisted everyone behind me. The staff has no sense of urgency or care for their customers.

      Dear BBB,

       

      I apologized to the customer and the General Manager has reached out to customer directly to resolve and this will be addressed by the General Manager of the store internally to ensure this type of service is unacceptable by associates and also engage this customer.

      I had a very odd experience. I called the number on back of an old office Max Gift cars that I had. I was trying to get a balance. The number I dialed was on the back of card. An outgoing message said they had a special offer for over 50, and to press 1, if not press 2, even though I am over 50 I chose 2 because that was not the intent of the call. A person answering said “Can you hear me?” Then they started talking about Medic Alert. I asked if they could hear me, but then hung up thinking it was not right. I told a friend and they said she heard of ******** asking Can you hear me? But the really odd thing is I initiated the call. Thought I should report to BBB and Office Max/Depot.

      I placed a pick up order for a printer. Unfortunately, there was a change in my schedule and I am no longer need the printer from that location. I assumed they would follow their own policy of refunding after 5 days of non-pick up. Instead it has been 3 weeks now and they marked it picked up on the day it was ordered. ***. There was even a follow up email timestamped a week after the order asking me to pick up so clearly it is still at the store. They just won't cancel the order and refund the money. Reaching out to their staff is useless. They just deny and ask me to call someone else. I'm about to file a chargeback. Such a sad excuse for a company creating unnecessary problems for everyone.
