As an idea, reader Jill, made a stamp for her sons teacher to stamp her books with her name so they don’t get lost. She uploaded a turtle pic as that’s the class mascot! Great idea! 🙂
(Thanks, Jill!)
dont forget go through ebates
You can create an address label image using something like picmonkey and upload it!! 🙂
I hope I make it home in time to order!
its not giving me free shipping
It gave me free shipping…did you enter a staples rewards number? maybe that’s required?
no but I made it work…I just had to upload a picture 🙂
i didnt do an address i did one for my new position as a nursing instructor…TIA Collin
Thank you for this! I ordered a stamp for my partner’s birthday (or maybe Valentine’s Day!).
Not seeing the free shipping either
I clicked on the link, selected regular text and it’s not offering free shipping when I go to checkout Am I doing it wrong? Thank you
you have to do an image and than upload it from word as a pdf. if you want do to text
How are you getting the free shipping? When i choose the picture only option, it is still charging me shipping!! HELP!!
Perfect! I uploaded a PDF of my logo and address, and I’m on my way to a 99c stamp!
no free sgipping here also
upload a picture.
I am not seeing option for free shipping???
its only for an image you can upload one
just got one for my boyfriend (a high school chemistry teacher). He’s gonna love this super-nerdy Valentine’s Day gift! Thanks for the sweet deal!
What you have to do is upload a picture….if you do it the regular way you have to pay shipping!
Thank you so much!
PS. I just did it with the address and picture to left. It also gave me the option of free priority shipping.
WOOHOO – got one thanks so much – you have to actually upload an image from your computer to get the free shipping to appear – I am a HUGE Packer fan so I was able to upload a the Packer G for an emblem and did the text in green – just an idea for all of you NFL fans you can upload your team image 🙂
LOVED that idea! Got hubby one made with the Laker’s logo on it, and it turned out awesome! He really liked the way it looked. 🙂
I don’t see where to upload :/
Double click where it says “Your Logo Here”.
I’m like super slow tonight lol
For me it was the second page of choices then you will see the upload photo option. Hope you can find it. Great deal!
Oh my goodness! How fun!! My parents are Deaf, and so I uploaded an ASL “I love you” for them to stamp on cards, letters, etc. I’m going to send it to them for Valentine’s day! Thanks!!
nice to hear about a CODA who embraces ASL. too often it becomes a part of their past when they move out….
Got one for $1.08 (includes tax) delivered with 3 day rush shipping!
If you’re on a Mac, you can create your stamp in Word (your address or whatever you want it to say)…then press Shift, Command, 4 at the same time. This should bring up a little crosshairs…put this cross hair in the corner of the text you created to be a stamp, click, drag it over the text. This saves whatever you dragged it over as an image somewhere on your computer (mine defaulted to my desktop). The file name is always “Screen Shot ….” with the year, date and time following. Then upload the image to Staples
The only thing I strongly caution with your method of the screenshot is that its low resolution (72 dpi – dots per inch) and it might be blurry when printed. You typically want at least 300 dpi for printing. Maybe more than you wanted to know, but I would try to create a high resolution image.
Used it for my kids to practice writing their name with a dashed primary font, typed name in Word, saved as a.pdf & uploaded as image. Now they can stamp their name away, then practicing tracing/writing their names!
I love this idea! I want to do it for my niece!
Where do you find the dashed primary font? That is an excellent idea!!
I loved this idea too, and found the Trace font.

i did one normal one and another one with an image (created an address label in photoshop and saved as a jpeg) as long as one in your cart has an image, the shipping is free on entire order. also ordered one for my mom and one for work 🙂 thanks collin!
I typed the school PTO address on a Word document, and used screen capture to save it as a picture. I uploaded and voila! Return address stamp for $1.07 with tax. Thanks Collin!
Sweet. Just did one with my signature! Perfect for the millions of small lines I have to sign at work! Bam!
thank you! got one for my sister whos about to become a teacher for all her books
This is great! i just put the text i wanted in windows and saved it as a pdf file than uploaded that as an image so now i have a return address stamp 🙂
I am being charged $12.99? wonder what i am doing wrong
nevermind! chose the wrong one haha
Im ot getting something right… its still saying $18.99 at checkout but with free shipping… this is a little confusing
nevermind.. I got it
I made one to stamp the inside of my kid’s books…thanks!
I’m really excited about this! I made one with the planting instructions for the plantable paper I sell on Etsy! It will sure get some use!
Wow- after hand addressing 70 Christmas card envelopes, and writing my return address on all of them, I’m more than delighted to pay $1 to get a return address stamp! I added a small flower next to my address to use the photo/text product for free shipping.
Thank you for posting this! Fingers crossed they don’t cancel all these orders…I always worry when deals seem too good to be true! 🙂
thank you so much Colin!!!! i hope they don’t cancel my order!!!
Smokin’ deal! Thank you!
Thanks! Just snagged one! My dad is going to love it!!
I saw this advertised yesterday on Staples website, but when I clicked the ad it sent me to a $8.99 price. Then the other deals they offer expired last month.
Thank you so much Hip2save!
Thank you SO much! This was THE best deal ever! I got 6 different stamps for just over $6 and they are shipped “rush 3day” for free. I got ones for my girls’ teachers for gifts come teacher appreciation week and ones for our business and personal use. Best deal ever! 🙂 I did upload my blog image for one stamp so I assume that’s why I was able to get it shipped for free. Thank you again!
woohoo got it with my sons name so i can stamp his stuff
How many can we order? I accidentally did two and each was .99 but I doubt it…I removed the second one and placed the order for one. Now I’m thinking I should have placed the order for two lol..
I was able to order more than one at the price. I had to keep going through the link you posted, but it worked! I got FOUR!!
Thank you! I made one with my son’s first and last name and an icon of a steam train (his favorite) underneath. I will use it to stamp his books and other paperwork when he goes to kindergarden 🙂
Every time I try to order, it shows the .99 at the beginning but 18.99 in the cart.
It finally went through, thanks for posting this!
awesome deal! unfortunately i cant think of a single thing to add to a stamp!!
Maybe a flower or your faveorite animal or sports team logo??? 🙂
Add your favorite football team logo (avatar) or animal or something like that. Good luck!
I did one for my daughter with her name on it :). It will put a smile on her face… And I may regret it later. lol
Ordered 4 at 99c each. 1 with a family portrait and address, the rest with each kid’s pictures and name. Thanks!
i work for sjsu and the registrar is too cheap to get us personalized stamps…just ordered my personalized stamp for $1.07 w/ free rush delivery. Thanks for the GREAT deal.
I just spent an hour making four for my girls, and it showed the total $3.96 + .28 tax and free shipping, after I submitted my order it said they were regular price and got a bill for over $80.00
Thank you! Got one @.99 and no shipping!
Thanks, awesome deal! I received email order confirmations and made 2 stamps (separate orders) for $1.07 each with free rush shipping!
