Staples: $25 worth of FREE Sharpie Products!
UPDATE: It looks like the deal is DEAD!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Staples is starting one of their Cyber Monday deals early and offering up $25 worth of Sharpie products for FREE–yes, FREE! All you need to do is go on over here and add at least $25 worth of Sharpie products to you cart. At checkout you’re suppose to be able to use coupon code 96140, but currently it’s not working. At this point, to bypass the online problem, you can actually call 1-800-891-0195 and put your order in over the phone. Just tell them what item numbers you have in your online cart and then you’ll be able to tell them the coupon code (which will deduct $25). Please keep in mind that there is a long wait, but $25 worth of FREE Sharpie products may just be worth it, right?!
***Also, you can choose site to store shipping and you’ll ONLY pay around $0.59… so basically you’ll be getting $25 worth of products for around $0.59! Yay!
Stay tuned for many more Cyber Monday deals to come…
(Thanks, MojoSavings & ShoppingFrugal!)
FYI – If you want to pick up your order at the store, tell them BEFORE you order.
all the sharpies are out of stock and the deal is over:(
Purchased $25.86 of sharpie products & 2 sets of batteries on Sunday. Called back this morning 7:40 am PST & was on hold for over 10 mins. I decided to try another number posted by Linda: 1-800-891-0195. 1st try was busy, hit redial & 1 for customer service & it was answered right away. Provided my order # & was credited $25. I didn’t even have to tell him why I was calling. He was very nice & it took about 2-3 mins.
Just got mine! $2.05 for 32 markers!!! Thank you Thank you! My hubby uses these at our business, and goes through them like crazy! I just saved $30 dollars!
They are not out of stock. Just certain items are. You can search Sharpies on their site. You don’t have to get the ones that pop up when you click on the special.
The deal is still good, you just need to call. The coupon showing as expired is just a glitch. It’s good all day today, CyberMonday. The multiple color packs are pretty much sold out but there are lots of other Sharpies.
Also, place the order online but don’t complete it. It will be easy to read the item numbers off of for the phone order.
THE DEAL IS OVER. The rep reiterated on the phone over and over that it is over and that she talked to the Manager and they confirmed. So annoying especially since my items were not listed out of stock in my cart or through the process.
Just did it, but she said it ends in just a few minutes. Thanks hip!
I called and was told that the deal was not being honored anymore, so I tried calling back to see if I got the same response. Worked the second time, they just had me charge it to a credit card and then altered my order to immediately credit me back. Thanks for the heads up!
I just called and they told me the deal was over also. DARN! Free Sharpies would have been great.
For some reason I think it depends on who you talk to, call back!
Boy I’m glad I ordered last night without coupon code, which wouldn’t take. I called them today to get the coupon code added. I was told because I ordered YESTERDAY he could add the code. Otherwise the code is dead!
My rep also said they are not honoring the deal anymore! Bummer!
Staples is getting on my last nerve with their call waits, their misinformation about this…everyone is getting different answers. ugh I have spent way to much time on this deal already. I have my order placed. spoke to 3 different reps, the order is not showing in their system, keep telling me to call back to get it credited and that because i have the order placed it will be credited, but no other orders going forward will be credited, the deal is over as per them. I just dont trust them that they are going to credit it so I have to keep ontop of this one. Sucks. I cant stand when companies do these freebies and then dont have the capacity to handle them. ugh
Called about 30 minutes ago, rep was super nice! I ordered markers and highlighters and after discount it was $1.06 shipped to the store… So awesome!!!

I just got through on the phone and they said the deal was just ending, but she would take my order and get back to me by email.
I placed my order last night and was planning to call this morning to get the credit. I woke up this morning to an email saying one of the items I purchased was out of stock. I finally got through to customer service and he said they had another warehouse that he could get that item from and was going to credit me back for the entire order – $27.xx. Awesome!
The first time I called I waited 16 minutes and the rep told me the deal was over. I called back (waited another 12 minutes) and the second rep informed me that the deal ended around 10:30 but that she would try it and it worked!!! Woo Hoo! Thanks Hip2Save! You are awesome!!
MrsSaveAlot – I wouldn’t stress out too much about it if I were you. I would give them some time to get your order in the system and try back when they’re not as busy. If they’re not willing to credit you then you can always just return your items for a full refund. It sounds like they’re honoring the orders that were placed before the deal ended so you shouldn’t have an issue. They honored mine with no problems.
did anyone get a confirmation e-mail from them….i am spaking to a rep that said they are holding all orders at the warehouse and not filling the ordrers…i am waiting to talk to a manager now
not valid even on the 800 number. I placed my order online then called. Customer service told me that the offer was not valid. 12:10 EST
just spoke with a manager and they are sending it out to be delivered to my home tomorrow…whole order 3 cents!!! this deal is a lot of work and too much time but I had too much time invested already so I had to make it work. She did say the deal is over now though and that if the order was placed and you dont get a confirmation e-mail from them about the order, it will not be placed. so frustrating. So check your e-mail boxes and make sure you printed off your confirm in case you need it.
I ordered and called to have them correct it. I was told the Sharpie deal was no longer available! Yuck, now I’m going to have them cancel my order. I can drive two blocks to buy the rest of my items without paying shipping.
Deal is dead, but it doesn’t make sense that when you look up to purchase sharpies, it still advertises for $25 in free sharpie products. Lame!
Anyone know how long we have to wait to get the credit? I show they have already charged my card, but no credit.
when I spoke to the manager it seems they are not going to honor the deal unless you got a confirmation e-mail that it went through or you speak to a manager. A lot of the orders are not even in their system. If your credit card was charged it means that your order went through, but now you need to speak to a rep to get it credited…if they will even do that now. I think it depends on what time your order went through if they will credit you. This deal turned out to be a mess on staples end. I just got a call from their rep calling me back to let me know that the deal did in fact go through for 3 cents and to expect the delivery to my house tomorrow afternoon. yay good luck and make sure to call them if your credit card was charged.
I just called and they said that the deal is over but I asked to talk to a manager and he is sending me an email with a $10 off code..at least something for the time I spent filling up my cart!
I just attempted to call in my order and it said a 2 hour hold time!!!!!!!!!
2 hours!!! OMG!!!!
i just called customer service. this deal ended 10:30 EST.
Just read on slick deals that someone bought the $25 worth of sharpies in the store and gave the associate the coupon code and it took the amount off. This is a HUGE YMMV thing though, but may be worth a try if you have one nearby.
I heart coupon deals,
I posted on that earlier…the woman I spoke with said it was good online or retail, so you can do this deal at the store.
When I went to get my batteries this morning, I asked and they said they are doing the sharpie deal in store. I did it there instead of the on-line headache! It totally works and my store had lots in stock. I love sharpies so that is such a great deal.
I just called my local store and they said they wouldn’t honor the deal 🙁
They are cancelling orders, despite a confirmation email. I just talked with them after they sent me an email saying they were out of one of the things I ordered. I called and they said all orders placed after 10:30 are being cancelled. I was 10:39.
that is what they told me earlier, only that they were canceling orders that did not get the e-mail confirmation yet on the order processing and being shipped. otherwise they are not honoring the deal. I got a confirmation phone call after speaking to the manager that my order is processed and will be here tomorrow, so they may call you to tell you your order is confirmed or e-mail you. i hope we all get our stuff, if not, this is just the nature of the beast, sometimes this happens with these companies. 🙁 just have to expect it when trying to get these awesome deals right?
They are telling me the coupon is expired! I’m on hold with customer service
Coupon has expired.
No fault of Collin’s, but what total ANNOYANCE. I should have known better… Ordered ~9:00 this morning on the phone (b/c it wouldn’t work on line) & got e-mail confirmation.
Later got an e-mail that one item is out of stock. I called and they have “no Sharpies” at all left, BUT the order is on it’s way at REGULAR PRICE MINUS the cost of the out of stock item and can’t be stopped.
If I’m home I can refuse delivery or I can call customer service to pick up the package.
The woman apologized, but that’s no excuse. I authorized charges to my credit card of $1.06 NOT $17 and am REALLY ANNOYED. BAD BUSINESS to charge me for more than I agreed to w/ out my permission!!!!!!!
i went to Staples today on a separate note to make a return and grabbed $25 worth of Sharpie items to see if it’d work. all i did was show the girl the code from my iPhone and she entered it. the total was .08 cents!!!! i was so excited. i actually went back and grabbed some more for my dad & did another transaction. the worker was excited i got such a great deal and so was i!!!!
Yeah i got a confirmation email and then an email just now saying that one of the items was out of stock. I really hope they don’t charge my regular price for the rest of them. What is it with companies posting those deals and not being able to handle the processing????
Mine went through and I got confirmation and then an email cancellation of the order that basically said, “too bad, we’re not honoring the deal.” My nasty email is on it’s way. I have no problem with them not doing these deals, but to renig on the ones that have already been processed (and credit cards charged) is poor business practice imo.
It appears mine has shipped to the store for pick up today. Also, the “pending” charge on my card is now gone. So far, I have been charged nothing for the pens. I am not complaining, just a little confused. I guess we shall see.
Today I got an email saying a couple items were out of stock, so I called up just now to see how that was going to work, since my total of sharpies wouldnt be $25..(wondering if i would be credited) and it turns out they are going to credit me the original amount ($27 and some odd change) even though my order is like $14 now after the out-of-stock issue….so they are giving me the $13 for….”my trouble”
I’ll take it! Hopefully this transpires on my credit statement as well as the customer service rep said!
mine came today! yay
I placed my order sunday night, and my package arrived today via UPS. I am very pleased with Staples, and will definitely start shopping there more often!!
I emailed them yesterday morning about the code not working (around 9am), and I got a email from them today saying that I could place my order today and then call and they would still honor the $25 off. They said that as long as you emailed or placed your order before 10:30am yesterday they would still honor it. I just placed my oder now, and called and she gave me the credit! Only 28 cents for 37 sharpies!
Picked mine up from the store yesterday:) Not sure if the customer service rep entered something wrong, but I was charged nothing for the sharpies!!! Thanks Colin!!
I lied. My account now shows a $28charge. I better see a credit soon, or all these sharpies will be making thier way right on back to Staples.
My original post was Mon Nov 30, 04:11:00 PM….
UPDATE –
Megan call them again… it may work out.
My order was delivered and I called customer service again today. Spoke to a woman who credited my whole order, so I got my Sharpies (minus the out of stock item) for FREE!! So they did honor the deal, contrary to what I was told the other day.
I am very happy now and will order again from Staples.
