Have a Desk Apprentice that you hate, would gladly sell, and ship? Rant ahead...

I don't have one, sorry! But would they do free shipping to the store?

I have one and I love it but it is crazy big. Can you talk to the local manager and see if he would be willing to place a special order for you?

The website and the manager say that they will do free shipping to the store. Which wouldn't be so bad. Except that I know if I just bought it at the store, without having to pay for it online first, that I would pay almost $20 less! DH is absolutely against paying almost twice the amount just to get it shipped to the store - and probably from the same warehouse it would be coming from if they were just stocking it as normally. And, I can't say that I disagree. I need three of them. I really just can't afford to pay more than what they are selling for at the store (when in stock) at the normal $25.99 price.

 

I'd contact Staples at their 800 number or do a live chat. Maybe they can discount the online price for you?

I only needed one and didn't care about paying more..... I NEEDED it! I definitely don't think it is too big. I ordered it from the store (while in the store) and paid no shipping.

 

OP, can you use milk crates until you can buy all three? Or buy them one at a time?

So many stores are doing this now. Last weekend I bought 2 pairs of pants at Express, but they didn't have petite length. The sales clerk checked online, found them, i paid for them and they shipped them to me for free.

 

Same thing happened at Christopher & Banks. I'd definitely ask Staples about it!
