@Davidthebest:
You need to opt your Staples.com account into a Rewards account via the link in the post.
After you do that you will get free shipping.
What do u mean by adding “gift items”?
Got it! Did store pickuo so I wouldn’t waste the time signing up and losing out
Still works. We’ll see if they honor it.
Strange. Was able to place order even thou initially it says some items are not in stock. We’ll see when it arrives! Hopefully will be able to return the car for store credit)))
did it but they wont honor it
Yeah what exactly do you mean by gift items
Wow I think it worked. Thanks Dan
just worked for me. (1:05am)
Is there any way to change to “pickup in store” after the purchase? Could be there’s a better chance of getting the stuff than delivery.
@Anonymous:
Who knows. Samsung sent me the free items from their price mistake last year on a Saturday evening, so crazier things have happened.
Not working for me
Are you able to return the laptop case ??
Did it got conf email. Looks like the good stuff is already out of stock but still a good deal!!!
Worked for me but even with my staples account I have to pay shipping
@Debby:
Read the post. You need to opt into Staples Rewards for free shipping.
Just worked!
Awesome! Just go it. Got an email that 2 items are no longer available but everything else will be filled. The first time I tried it I got no discount after adding something I really needed. Then I changed to the item Dan suggested and it worked. Odd; go figure.
Just placed w/o any issue
worked for me! hopeful they wont cancel, i dont see exclusions in fine print
Saved over $200 I tried a second order but site is crashing
Just placed another order ant it worked thanks @Dan
SHOPRUNNER
Got it!
What happens if you dont like whatever we bought for 25 dollars. Are we able to return the item? Will they want gift items back?
TIA Dan
bought a ream of paper for 55 — rebate is 36 .. got it all score!! until they cancel
Worked for me. i had to use 30 dollars staples rewards so i brought two 40 pack kcups for 50 and used the rewards so i paid 25 fo everything cool deal
I just made a rewards account do u think I’ll be able to get this?
It worked but a bunch of the free gifts are already outta stock
Hope the ones that aren’t ship
Just worked for me. Thanx Dan!
got it! 1:10 got an email saying that two items are unavailable but the other 10 went thru!
Can you return the full price item?
i just got it all,is the laptop case the only item that it works on?
placed only 250$ worth, was in a rush, and didn’t stop to add free shipping via membership, maybe ill try later if they don’t cancel and I get my stuff. already got an out of stock email for 2 items, waiting on the rest…
I’m also wondering if we’d be able to return the item we actually paid for and keep the junk.
I just ordered and it worked fine.
will I be able to go to the store and return the $25 laptop case and still keep the freebee items?
just worked got an email saying some of the stuff was out of stock hopefully the rest ships
Can you return the item you pay for?
Done got email 6items unavailable
I got other few still tnx
I placed the order and got an order number on the confirmation page. But, I got no confirmation email and the order doesn’t appear in my order history page.
This is dead saying now that for each item you need another 24.99
Seems to have worked for me. Thank you.
Trying to add the free items to my cart and it’s not adding them
Don’t know how you find these things but thank dan! Hope they honor it!
@Dan:
Ouch…. problem is that on my mobile that link didn’t work properly… think they will refund it?
Strange doesn’t work even though they acknowledge that I spent the $25.
The message I get:
FREE KITCHEN PREP SET with your purchase of $25 or more Promotion not applied:Minimum order total is not met. You only have $29.99 of regular-priced items in your cart. Please add $25.00 worth of products to your cart and then apply the coupon once more.
Just got email only 6 things will ship.. 🙁
Will I have to pay tax on all those items?
can i return the purchased item after it ships?
worked, but only after i added the exact item dan posted.
Got an email saying 3 items out of stock…Now went to the website to see the order it shows those 3 items ‘processing’, but they are charging me for those items. I guess I’ll have to return them…
Site down is it dead.?
i placed my order and it said my total was $25 but when i went back and veiwed my orders it showed me a much bigger total
Can someone help me? Is there a promo code?
I places my order 5 minutes ago and it went through fine (as of now), but some of the promo items – in my case, the pizza serving and kitchen prep set, as well as emergency tool set and recreational blanket are out of stock).
Just worked for me on a smartphone after 10 tries and deleted some items from cart
Still worked for me 10 minutes ago; let’s see if they ship.
Dan, don’t forget about Shoprunner – not only does it make shipping free but it’s 2-day shipping, so there’s a better chance of the order not getting cancelled before it ships.
Worked once but only gave me some item. Then tried again wont let me do it.
Just purchased that are shipping only 4 items
Recreation Blanket
Item # 323803
OUT OF STOCK
Pizza Serving Set
Item # 326288

15pc Emergency Tool Set
Item # 406051

most items are not worth that much as stated, they are mostly junk… tried on Friday worked first but before checkout it required 25 reg priced items. it may work now as the rebate already exp April 22 11:59pm est
Still worked for me just now.

Just worked for me! Bought the laptop bag (needed one anyway) and got 11 free items! Waiting for confirmation of shipping…. *fingers crossed*
Thanks, Dan!
Worked! Thanks!
Thank You @Dan Just placed my order, They are shipping 5 of the item’s that are still available
CAN ANYONE ANSWER IF YOU CAN RETURN THE PURCHASE AND KEEP THE FREEBIES?
Ordered with the $12 AR paper. Now I see that rebate for paper says: Valid Dates: 04-16-2017 through 04-22-2017.
Will the rebate for the paper work until 11:59pm PDT?
THE DEAL IS NOW DEAD I’M CLICKING ON THE LINK TO GIFT ITEMS AND IT’S BRINGING ME TO HOME PAGE
@ dan do u think it will ne possible to return the main item for a refund later?
It worked just now! It did let me check out even that some items were already out of stock, I got an email after placing the order, that some of the items are not be available and I wont be charged for it……..
@Anonymous: @Dima: I don’t think it’s going as of now 2:00
seems dead
dead?
Thanks, Dan! Got everything!
Dead
think dead too
lets see if you guys get the stuff
Can i only do this once? Or can this transaction be repeated from the same mobile device?
Just missed it…. tried 2:04 am
I placed an order but all the items except the paper and one free gift were unavailable so how do I cancel my order I can’t find anywhere on the site to do it
Has anyone tried inputting the codes manually at the checkout all my codes were erased and i cant try.
Thanks Dan. Got 6 items free 🙂
Please keep posted if the deal was delivered successfully
@Dude: @Eli: doesn’t the order need to be $49.99?
Yeah Staples is in business to give away hundreds of dollars of free stuff to customers. Get real. You’re orders will be canceled and rightfully so.
@gedman: It’s interesting i placed one also had the same problem
@Don’t be a mooch: Sour grapes, anyone?
@Binyomin: nah, he’s just bummed he missed out
You dont post anything that exposes you as immoral for preying on human error. I am certain that decent people have posted complaints about this deplorable behavior that is due to your greed in driving up your hits. Being that you seem to be religious it is a shame
Order cancelled 🙁
As expected though.
@Binyomin: definitely not sour grapes…just simple business, they will cancel your BS order and rightfully so.
@yussuf: not bummed, glad Staples found the error and all the clowns trying to score free stuff got shut down. If you had a business and there was a glitch through no fault of your own would you willingly go out of business and give away all your inventory? Of course nkt.
Order status is “canceled”.
Placed 2 orders from 2 separate accounts. The order I placed around 1:30am is canceled, the order I placed around 12:30am still states “processing”. Not sure what to make out of this..
Dear Dan,
I spoke to rep on phone since I was checking my order status online and said canceled. She said that no email sent out that was canceled but and order that was not processed yet or in mid of processing was canceled. To see if canceled, you need to go to track order, put in order number and it would say canceled or tracking status.
She said all people who did this deal with 2+ free items will be under review on every order they place
Can you check and let me know if yours was canceled? Thanks
What does that mean they will be under review on every order they make does that mean random orders in the future?
@Neg: that’s what the supervisor said. Any order placed under same account will be reviewed
Order canceled
They shipped the one item I paid for, but cancelled ALL of my gift items. Gonna have to call them to see if they’ll honor at least one gift, or I’ll just return it. 🙁
My order status online – Cancelled
Free gifts were cancelled, however the regular priced item wasn’t. Called them up and got a refund.
canceelled
@Avi: they said since you abused the 1 free gift since it says choose A gift, none will be shipped.
To all those now having their accounts monitored for trying to knowingly take advantage of Staples, you reap what you sew. Love it!
@Dave: That is excellent news.
Got all of it today
But ordered it on Friday
I didn’t receive a cancellation email, but followed the advice above and ‘tracked my order’ and it is cancelled completely and no charge on my credit card.
My order was cancelled. How I was still charged 89 cents tax. Im not sure on what though since I’m not getting anything in return..
ORDER WAS CANCELLED 🙁
Order cancellation email this morning but I have some FedEx deliveries scheduled which seem to be from staples, we’ll see

Order cancelled.

Just an update to all. I got a cancelltion letter via email i chated with them and there refunding me for the order. i then said its not right why you canceling and she didnt know why because they didnt put in any notes. so i said can you offer me some kind of compensation for this order. They gave me 30 free dollars gift for my next order. YEAH so this all work out great
When called got $10 refunded from original order and they let me choose one of the promotional items that they’re sending me free
Received purchase order in an email and a few days later received an email of invalid purchase and cancelled order.
me 2 the order was cancelled due to improper coupon usage
order canceled
My order was cancelled due to misuse of coupon.
Just got my order with 7 of the free items tomorrow is cominge rest good job @dan
my order was cancelled too…
One part delivered today 2nd should be delivered tomorrow according to UPS thanks
@dan I think this is the first free deal I got my hand on before you actually posted :).
I ordered on Friday, all 13 freebies arrived today.
Thanks Dan.
My order was cancelled. I still received the laptop case but no free gifts. Any suggestions what to do to get the gifts?
On my order they cancelled the item that I paid for, and send me all the gifts, got yesterday part of it and today the other part .
Thanks dan
They sent me the laptop cases that I ordered but not the gifts. I called to see if the gifts were coming. Apparently the order wasn’t process due to invalid coupon code. I m vet received the emails they claimed they sent. To make it better, They informed me I was never charged for the items I received and now that I’m calling and telling them I received the items, they need to charge me
i needed things from staples anyway during this promotion. so i ordered a lot of things and selected the free gifts. when they cancelled the order i didn’t get the free gifts but i got everything i ordered no charge!!!!!
