DON'T try to order online for in-store…
DON'T try to order online for in-store pickup in Houston. I tried and I regret it. The ordering online was fine. But when I got to the store, I could not get my order out of their "Amazon-like" locker. It required a code, but OD did not send me the code! I got an email and tried the order number, but that was not good enough to open the locker. I tried to get help from an in-store associate. She couldn't open the locker, either, and there was no manager or supervisor she could get---there were only 3 workers in a 5000 sf store, and one HAD to go home NOW because she worked her hours. Asking for a refund is even worse. I left the store and was told I had to call for a refund. They acted like I was on the moon. Grilled me on how I paid, what my account number was, and more! Third-degree over a simple order cancellation. Three days later, I get a message by email says that I cannot cancel because I picked up my order! Heck, I couldn't even open the locker! So now they LIE about the order being picked up! I'm out $500 plus the merch. I had to go to AmEx to file a complaint. And Office Depot wonders why they are losing the retailing war to Amazon and others? Look in the mirror, folks!
