FAQs
Does Staples offer free shipping?
Yes, they do! Staples provides free next-day shipping on the majority of online purchases that are $35 or more (before tax). Please note that oversized items and those requiring special delivery may be subject to additional handling or special fees.
Can I recycle in old tech at Staples?
You can! Staples recycles various electronics and often provides ink/toner recycling credits for its rewards members.
What is Staples Easy Rewards?
Staples Easy Rewards is the brand's free-to-join loyalty program that lets customers earn rewards on every qualifying purchase. Members earn 1 point for every $1 spent. Also, you can get $2 back in rewards for every eligible ink and toner cartridge you recycle, subject to program terms.
As you earn points, they are automatically converted into rewards. For every 200 points you earn, you receive $1 in 'Staples Cash' that can be applied to your next purchase.
Does Staples accept returns?
Customers can send most items back to Staples within 14 days to arrange a refund or exchange. Different categories of items have different returns periods. For example, furniture and tech have a 14-day returns period, whilst products covered by AppleCare+ can be returned within 30 days, and office supplies can be returned at any time. Note that digital software and prepaid cards cannot be returned or refunded, and ink & toner must be unopened to qualify. Check the Staples website for more details.

Staples Saving Tips
Sign Up for the Newsletter: One of the quickest ways to save is by signing up for the Staples email newsletter. They often send a welcome offer, like $15 off a $60 online order, just for joining. It’s the best way to stay in the loop on upcoming sales.
Join the 'Easy Rewards' Program: If you shop at Staples even occasionally, their 'Easy Rewards' program is a must. It's free to join, and you'll earn points on everything you buy. You also get $2 in rewards for every ink or toner cartridge you recycle. The points automatically turn into 'Staples Cash' for you to spend on future visits.
Download the Staples App: Grab the Staples mobile app to keep your rewards and exclusive deals right in your pocket. It's the easiest way to track your points and make sure you never miss a special offer, especially when you're shopping in-store.
Keep an Eye on Seasonal Sales: Staples has sales running all year, but the real deals often pop up during big events like Black Friday. It's the perfect time to look for huge savings on pricier items. In the past, we've seen laptops with discounts as big as $250.
Automate and Save with AutoRestock: For things you buy regularly, like printer ink or paper, set up an 'AutoRestock' subscription. You'll save 5% on a single recurring item or 10% if you subscribe to two or more. It’s a simple way to make sure you never run out, and those savings really build up over time. Plus, delivery is free.

How we source coupon codes
The coupons you’ll find on Tom’s Guide have been sourced by our dedicated coupons team, who use the web, our relationships with retailers, & our affiliate networks to find the latest codes. The offers on each coupon page are updated every few days to ensure we feature the freshest ways to save, and our commercial team (based in London) also sources exclusive codes and sales info directly from some of the biggest retailers around.
How we test coupon codes
All the coupon codes we list on our pages have been tested by our deals & offers teams to check they work as intended before they’ve been uploaded. You’ll find a wide range of coupons on Tom’s Guide, including free shipping offers, student discounts, and savings on various kinds of products.
To ensure that all listed codes are available to use, we don’t include any one-time use or user-specific coupons. We also provide as much information as we can to keep things as clear as possible - any expiry dates or terms & conditions will be listed alongside the code. Look for the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text - you’ll be able to click this to expand this section for more details.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
We take care to only list tried & tested coupons on our pages, so all codes should be active and confer the listed discount or deal. However, although we keep up to date with expiry dates and any terms & conditions, sometimes retailers change these before we can update our pages.
Should a coupon fail to work as expected, check you meet any listed requirements. These can include minimum spends, multibuy offers, or product-specific promotions (i.e. 10% off selected tablets). You can view all associated requirements by clicking “View terms and conditions” below your code.
If this does not solve your issue, you can contact our customer service team by emailing coupons.tomsguide@futurenet.com. Make sure to let us know which coupon you were trying to use and which page this was listed on, and we’ll be in touch to help as soon as possible.
How we make money
Tom’s Guide makes money from coupons through a commission-based model. We have agreements in place with each retailer on our site - for every purchase made using one of our coupons or deals, we earn a small percentage of the order total back in commission.
Thanks to this model, we can save our customers money without charging them a thing. You won’t pay a penny to get the discounts listed on our pages, so whichever code or deal you choose, you’ll get exactly what it says on the tin.
