Staples Contract Difference

Staples® Contract is different than Staples Retail

You may be asking yourself, What’s the difference between retail stores and Staples Business Advantage® (SBA)?

For one, you don’t have time to cut coupons — that’s why Arizona Charter Schools Association signed on with Staples Business Advantage. You get your savings automatically. And that means you can focus more time on your core responsibilities. You no longer have to shop around, clip coupons and waste valuable time. All your purchases can be made with ease online at StaplesLink.com®.

Think of it as a Staples® store right on your desktop! StaplesLink.com allows you to consolidate orders so you can build them over time, check inventory status and make returns, all online!

With SBA, you have:

• Automatic and consistent savings with your contract pricing
• Quarterly spend analysis to help keep costs down
• Accessible account management and customer service
• Easy and efficient online ordering system tailored for your organization
• Order-management controls to check status of products, track a package and to make easy online returns
• Assign GL/Cost Center codes to orders for easier budget management
• Free next-business-day delivery

Staples understands that there are needs for same-day or emergency after-hours purchases. Staples Business Advantage can set up a convience card for purchases at any Staples® retail location so that you can receive your contract pricing or store pricing, whichever is lower, for the same items. If this is something that you would like to have the ability to do, please tell your Account Manager once your account is set up.
