MOD: Please note that users here have reported:
- system issues
- accounts no longer accessible
- user information may be exposed
- being told that, something went wrong with the database yesterday, a lot of information was lost, Staples are working to recover the information, meanwhile new customers are being assigned id numbers that actually belong to customers created just before the big crash and then the new id numbers are hooked up to the old history -> new customers can see other people's data

update:
- some people are now reporting that they can get back into their accounts though they can see other people's accounts
- some people are also reporting that they've received their orders now

update 20 May 2011:
- people are reporting items received
- people can use the code, though it may be better to play 1 round of the game (you don't have to win) and have them email confirmation of the eligibility to you

Link now changed to the link to the game

Shalom guys, this is my 48th post please be nice/nasty - whatever you want.

Potentially get 1TB HDD for $35, or a lot of Lipton Tea, or 5 reams of paper and some pens for free.

Free $20 Staples.com.au voucher when GAME20 is entered at checkout. Orders over $55 will get free delivery via Star Track Express.

Cudos to Breadie for pointing it out on a previous thread.

    Got the HDD.

  • d3ft on 17/05/2011 - 12:44

    Wait a minute, you can use this voucher more than once!?

    I've heard of being a loss leader but how is this joint making ANY money?

    • blackrider89 on 17/05/2011 - 12:48

      U can use this voucher ONCE for 1 ACCOUNT. Got what I meant?
      Nw, this one is one of the biggest office suppliers out there…

  • bildo on 17/05/2011 - 12:46

    There is a big difference ( i would hope) between an assload and a arseload of tea. What is it ?
    I assume you mean 'arseload'this being an Aussie site, and all.

    • Charlotta on 19/05/2011 - 21:40

      I'm pretty sure most self-respecting burritos could carry a shitload more tea, than anyone here could fit up their rear end.

  • chuneeperformance on 17/05/2011 - 12:47

    The only real thing there i want/need is the paper. I feel like a bit of an arse to just clean them out of $20 of paper hmmm might add some teabags :)

    EDIT: Ended up getting 2 lots of paper, theres already a $10 discount on them so 10 reams of paper is costing $9 delivered. I'll have paper until 2030 now.

    • esbelfer on 17/05/2011 - 16:08
      +1

      Hey Clickit: how do you manage to get 2 boxes (ie 10 reams) for $9 delivered ??

      2 reams = 39.90 - $10 (BOX10) - $20 (GAME20), PLUS deliv to metro melb for $5.5

      So the total they are showing me is 15.40.

      How did you get it for $9 ?.. !!??!?!?!?

  • ZaFrOoNaLdO on 17/05/2011 - 12:47

    Im so sad!! NOT AVAILABLE IN QLD! :((

    • TimOfEastBNE on 17/05/2011 - 13:04

      you don't know anyone in NSW you can get it sent to?? Then get them to send it to you.

    $5.50 is not bad for an 8GB USB drive such as this one: http://www.staples.com.au/filing-and-storage/digital-data-st…

  • Trance N Dance on 17/05/2011 - 12:56

    So with the BOX10 discount that's automatically applied, that means I can get 5 reams of Reflex ultra white for delivery fee ($5.50)!!! (it's $27.45 before discount) (oh and some pens or something to bring the total to $30 first xD)

    • Click_It on 17/05/2011 - 13:10

      free delivery changed at the end of my process, so i dropped back to 1 box for $11 delivered. Maybe they just changed it.

        • StewBalls on 18/05/2011 - 16:27

          Um, no s/he wasn't right at all.

          The website wasn't 'hacked'; nor was it a sinister plot to conduct identity theft or CC fraud.

          Their server/DB just went ass-up…they acknowledged it & fixed the problem.

          It seems most of us have already received shipping notices from what is a major chain store in the US seeking to gain a foothold here!

  • TimOfEastBNE on 17/05/2011 - 13:03

    combined with the external drive bargain this is great value. I'm in Qld, so I just get it delivered to my NSW office, and get it sent up in internal mail. Bingo.

      Can I send mine to your office as well??????

    Very tempted, but got too many hard drives…
    Anyone know if this USB3 hard drive would be faster than other similar usb2 hard drive using USB2 port ?
    (I get about 31Mb/s read, 26wMb/s write with the 1TB samsung 2.5")

    • daydream on 17/05/2011 - 13:10
      +1

      Your USB2 port would be the limiting factor so drive will seem the same speed as others (assuming similar drive speeds)

      • m2000 on 17/05/2011 - 14:20

        thanks. then I think I would skip this one.(also because of the design)

    • Kranbone on 18/05/2011 - 02:49

  • mirovich on 17/05/2011 - 13:07

    Thats damn cheap, 1tb + paper for $45 delivered!
    Many thanks!

    • prankster on 17/05/2011 - 13:39

      just 1 box of paper u bought?

    • nickj on 17/05/2011 - 14:22

      Did exactly same. Figured I'd have to get 3 boxes of paper to take the total ex-shipping over the $55 limit for free delivery, and personally I just don't need 15 reams of paper! Also the delivery cost only gets added once they know your location (after you've made an account), until then it doesn't appear at all.

    • Kelstorm on 17/05/2011 - 20:46
      +1

      Haha I read that as 1TB of paper. I'm not even sure if that would be heaps or hardly any

  • Martini on 17/05/2011 - 13:08
    +3

    At that price, hard not to order the 1TB drive.

    I did notice that the payment processing page was not secure. Buyer beware.

  • Harold Halfprice on 17/05/2011 - 13:12

    Can anyone link me to this $35 1tb hdd? I can only seem to find the verbatim external 1tb http://www.staples.com.au/filing-and-storage/digital-data-st…

    Or is that the one people are talking about?

    • blackrider89 on 17/05/2011 - 13:14

      It is. Use the voucher to get it at 29.99 + 5.50 shipping. Otherwise add more and more, exceed the 55 threshold and get free shipping.

    • illusionarybreeze on 17/05/2011 - 13:15

      that's the one

  • zpohc on 17/05/2011 - 13:13

    does that 1TB hard drive use electricity or is it only usb powered?

    • AlienC on 17/05/2011 - 13:22

      It's a 3.5" so uses electricity I believe. 2.5" are the USB powered ones.

      • zpohc on 17/05/2011 - 13:26

        thanks

    • daydream on 17/05/2011 - 13:36

      Electricity powers the USB drives as well but we know what you mean ;-)

      3.5" drives are externally powered (power point). 2.5" drives get their power from the PC via the usb cable.

    • jv on 17/05/2011 - 14:11

      usb uses electricity too… 5V

  • Click_It on 17/05/2011 - 13:13

    I'm not sure if it's my postcode (2250) but from the time it took from checkout to finding my credit card the deal changed, the GAME20 discount changed from $20 to $9.95 on mine plus free delivery changed to $11. All in all i got a box of paper delivered for $11 which is still half price but not the bargain originally stated. I think they've wised up to the fact they'll be giving away a whole lot of free paper.

    • Ace on 17/05/2011 - 14:10
      When you add copy paper to your basket a $10 off paper promo offer automatically activates:

      Buy any select box of A4 paper and receive $10 off - Not valid with any other offer. One coupon per customer. Only valid for residents in NSW/ACT/VIC/TAS/SA

      BOX10

      The $20 off still applies to other items you add to your basket, just not the paper as the BOX10 promo is automatic when you add paper to your basket. And the free delivery is on orders over $55 …

    Excellent.

    They are the only people to stock the Pilot Boardmaster refillable whiteboard markers. WIth $20 off, that's almost 15 free refills (which will last more than one school term for a single teacher!)

    • sash213 on 17/05/2011 - 13:35

      Wouldn't the school supply that?

      • daydream on 17/05/2011 - 13:39

        Julia does. There a big cupboard full of them in the back of the school halls ;-)

      • heatseeker424 on 17/05/2011 - 19:23

        Not if you're a casual teacher.

      • hubertlam on 17/05/2011 - 21:53
        +2

        As much as the school supplies whiteboard markers, unfortunately public schools are limited by what they can buy from their damned suppliers.

        Our supplier has negotiated a contract with us that in fact WITHHOLDS certain products (to stop us buying anything that is "too innovative"…). Pilot Boardmaster refillable whiteboard markers is one of them — more environmentally friendly, more user friendly…. :)

        • daydream on 18/05/2011 - 01:12

          Yes but your supplier would prefer you to buy more expensive non-refillable items. Maybe you need a new contract negotiator that saves you/taxpayers money ;-)

  • ericookie on 17/05/2011 - 13:36
