or just go to staples.com

It looks like they will be $8 each in your cart, but when you actually go to check out, it takes $5 off each pack.... great deal!

They said the sale is also in stores for today 1-7-12 only!

Thanks. Ordered the ultra fine set.

[shoxie]

[just_teachin]

AWESOME deal! Got sets for DD's art teacher and her classroom teacher as well as a set for my own classroom. THANK YOU!!

[ourbabygirl]

Thanks so much! Bought one for myself and 2 as gifts. :cheerleader1:

[nupe]

Didn't work for me. Must have expired...

[essnce629]

Aww, they're all sold out now!

[Green_Tea]

Just got an email from Staples that neither pack I ordered is going to ship :(. It said they're "not available for purchase."

[ang79]

Oh no! I only ordered one pack but other than getting an order confirmation when I placed the order, I haven't gotten any other emails yet. Its the slickdeals effect, tons of people jump on a deal and it seems it always oversells or gets canceled :(

[shoxie]

Just got an email from Staples that neither pack I ordered is going to ship :(. It said they're "not available for purchase."

Just got the same e-mail; I ordered one of each - neither is available. Bummer.

[ang79]

I just got one too :(

[oneplustwo]

Argh, I just got the same email too! Grumble grumble.

[overcome]

Argh, I just got the same email too! Grumble grumble.

Same here..boo

[crunchy]

both cancelled. :(

[babybell]

Mine cancelled too. :(

[MacMacMoo]

grumble, and I was looking forward to getting them.

[mom2one]

I just got the same email on the two orders I placed with them also. How can you purchase something and now it not be available. If companies cant keep up with supply and demand, then they should not but items on sale that everyone is going to want to buy several of.

I am probably going to give staples a call, not that it will do any good.

[oneplustwo]

I'm sure Staples got slammed since it was a front page slick deal.

Has anyone here who ordered NOT received the cancellation email?

[mom2one]

Just called Staples as I said I would. I was given the number for Executive CS. I called and gave the nice guy who answered the phone a lot of feedback about how disappointed we all are.

Please call 800-839-3067 ext 31022. If this extension does not work, please press 0 for the operator and she will transfer you to the right place.

I am tired of placing orders and companies not delivering.

Susan

[mak54321]

Same as everyone else. Also not available for purchase.

[Momit]

Cancelled.

[Sidney]

Just got an email from Staples that neither pack I ordered is going to ship :(. It said they're "not available for purchase."

I just got that email too. :-(

[Suebell]

Not me - cancelled. boo.

[Twin Mom]

Cancelled here too.

[urquie]

Cancelled here too.

:yeahthat:

[corrie23]

I keep checking and I have not received the cancellation email, but I assume that I will at some point. When I click the tracking link in my order confirmation email it shows my "total ordered" as $0 whereas it initially said my total on that line. The actual items list a status of "processing order" even though the expected delivery date is still listed as being tomorrow.

[mypa]

I just checked my spam folder and the cancellation email was there, boo.

[JustMe]

Got the cancelled e-mail earlier today as well.

[carolyngau]

weird- just got my sharpies in the mail! i guess i got in just under the wire!

[MrsZaz]

I got mine to.

Colleen

[corrie23]

I got mine to.

Colleen

Well, I must have just missed out. Mine were cancelled and I think that I ordered within minutes of you posting that you'd ordered. Oh well. Win some, lose some.

[salsah]

Check your CC! Staples charged my CC for the order even though they sent me a cancellation email! I'm going to have to call them to have them credit back the amount.

[oneplustwo]

Thanks for the alert. No charge to our CC; just checked. I wonder if you'll end up getting the sharpies, even though you got the cancellation email? I still would follow up with Staples though as you plan to do.

[connor_mommy]

I didn't get a cancellation email. The original charges are still pending on my Amex. But I have credits from them. I placed two orders. One was for two packs and the other for one pack. My credits from Staple are for $5 and $10. The math doesn't make sense.

[belovedgandp]

Never got a cancel order. When I follow the link in the e-mail it says it was shipped from warehouse but I haven't received it.

I was never charged, but now have a "return" credit. We'll see what happens.

I got that email, too! Yeah!

[mom2one]

I got the email too. Yea! I would like to think my phone call to executive customer service helped make that happen! :)

[shoxie]

Definitely could have!! :thumbsup: I got the e-mail, too.

[mommybug]

Hm, I had both packs canceled and received that email. :(

yay, just got it! $10 to spend. whoo hoo!

[oneplustwo]

I got the same email from Staples just minutes before PP posted about the $5 credit per Sharpie pack ordered. Will have to go check the CC account again. That's excellent customer service if they are really doing that to everyone whose order they cancelled.

I didn't get this email, only the cancellation one.

[mak54321]

Yes, I got the same email. $10 to spend is great! :) Good customer service!

[Twin Mom]

I got the email about the credit too. One pack so $5.

[JustMe]

Got the e-mail about the credit too and need a little remedial help. When they say they credited our accounts, do they mean our credit cards or what? I don't recall setting up an account (but I could have forgotten about it with all that is going on these days) with them when I ordered other than entering my info.

[bonbon98]

My credit showed up on my CC.

I was wondering the same thing... so thank you to the PP who clarified it was on our CCs. I've got to hand it to Staples-- I got a $50 credit on my CC.

I think Staples really went above and beyond on this one. I ordered 10 sets for school, teachers, etc, totaling $30. I think $30 in store credit would be amazing, let alone $50 in store credit... but to just put a $50 credit on my CC... that's PHENOMENAL.

[JustMe]

Thanks, saw it on my cc too! I am also impressed with Staples...I mean, it was annoying, but this does seem above and beyond.
