Pink Fairy Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 They have an offer at Staples.com for $25 worth of free Sharpies. If you type Sharpie in the store's search engine, you'll notice that that next to each item it says "$25 worth of Sharpie product for free." Choose what you want, and then call 1-800-891-0195 and choose ext. 1 (the code isn't working online, and 1800STAPLES has a super long wait). I was only on hold for a few minutes, told the lady what I wanted, and for 61 cents I'm getting 26 Sharpie markers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica in OR Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Which combination of Sharpies did you use to get so close to $25? Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Everything is showing out of stock now, what that the case when you ordered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Fairy Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Wow, that was fast. I just ordered maybe 15 minutes ago. I ordered two packs of 12, and 2 single bold black. There are several pages worth of Sharpies. Were they ALL out already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Canada never has deals like that, bummer. I go through so many sharpies around here I should buy stocks in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Fairy Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Okay, I just double checked. They are probably out of some things, but I was able to put 5 out of 6 things in my cart. I suppose it could have something to do with what area you are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Wow! Thanks, Mama! I placed my order after just a few minutes' wait on the phone. They didn't even charge shipping! Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Atl Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I got charged shipping... :confused: But still only $10 for 14 Sharpies is not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in Florida Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Thanks, I just placed an order. 4 Chisel Tips, 8 Fine Point (assorted colors) and 12 Metallic Silver for $1.36! Can you say stocking stuffer? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooh bear Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I have not been able to get the coupon to work, so I called. There is a 2 hour wait time. The automated voice said to place your order and call back later in the week and they will honor the coupon and give you your money back.

Pink Fairy Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) It's free to have it shipped to the store, so if you have one nearby try that. Also, call the number I posted and the wait time is only a few minutes (or at least it WAS--they may have "fixed" it by now).

natalie Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Check this out as well for info on how to get free batteries. I ordered the batteries [you pay for the batteries up front and receive the money back later through their reward program] and a couple of other things that were on my shopping list and that got my order to the $50 mark for free shipping. Thanks for passing along your find Mamabegood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. at J.A. Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I just completed my order doing this: Choose what you want, and then call 1-800-891-0195 and choose ext. 1 I was only on hold for about 3 minutes! WOOHOO! Called the 333 number first and was on hold for 15 minutes and gave up. Tried this number above and wasn't on hold very long. Placed my order and $3.92 later I'm the proud owner of 12 black sharpies, 12 assorted ultra fine sharpies, 5 assorted fine tip and 5 assorted ultra-fine tip. I got free shipping by becoming a rewards member...I don't remember how I did that, it was a long while ago. I think it has to do with being a homeschooler. Thanks so much!!

nova147 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks for the tip! I was looking for something to get my total to $50 (doing the battery deal previously mentioned). This was perfect! For less than $4, I will get 40 batteries, 6 sharpie markers and a dozen sharpie pens. I waited about 15 min on the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I ordered earlier. I ordered highlighters by accident instead of markers. I am going to see if I can exchange them when I pick them up, but I may not be able to. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in Florida Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Denise...did you have to pay for shipping??Thanks! kathi Sorry it took a while to reply. I had it shipped to the local store so I did not need to pay shipping. I just saw that rewards members don't pay shipping and I am a member, I will remember that next time.

Tina Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 If it's your first order with them shipping is free. Just to clear that up. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy in Indy Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I tried to place an order last night but the code kept coming up "expired." This morning the ones I wanted were out of stock...but I still was able (after 20 minutes of waiting) to get 3 sets of 4 ultra-fine and one set of 5 black for $1.06. (Free shipping with Teacher Rewards.) I'm not sure how they can do that, but I'm happy to have so many sharpies coming my way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I got thru the first time I called. What they want you to do is go ahead and get your order placed, ignoring the coupon for now. Call them with the order number and they will send a credit to your credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrow Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 getting through on the phone. Could you provide the name of the customer service rep who told you to place the order & then get credited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Fairy Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 I believe the deal is now dead. They have taken it off the Staples website, so at this point I wouldn't place an order anticipating a credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
