I use Staples for my mailing supplies and printer supplies and cleaning supplies, and I'm very happy to have them close by!

Reliable, yes. Relationship and Value oriented? No. We use a local supplier for office consumables, furniture, printing and business machines. They have great everyday pricing, easy website and quick books payment system. But most of all, we have the owner's cell phone and that of his team! If my printer is giving us issues late at night, all I have to do is text and support is available.

As small business owners, don't we have a moral responsibility to give our business to the local businesscommunity? Print Smart Office Solutions. Check them out and Tell Joel Carrera, the owner, we said hi!

Yes, we normally use them because they are convenient in Clemmons close by.

Reliable? Sure! But also overpriced and like Deb said, not relationship oriented. You'll get better service and better value from a local business, and it will benefit your community and the economy at large more as well.

We buy our office supplies through a company called Quill. They are affiliated with Staples, as some of our shipments are delivered from them. If you open an account with them you get FREE things and Quill Cash to spend on other office supplies. They usually have our supplies delivered next day.

Locally owned and operated suppliers will give you better service and support. Stay away from the "big box".

We order online and it arrives the next day!
