    Carbondale's Staples is under new management and is trying to get its act together. They need qualified people to work there. It's always a busy store and is much needed in Carbondale. But lack of knowledgeable associates is a problem. I wish them the best.

    We were traveling to a family wedding, when word came down from on high that we needed a framed wedding photo from our wedding in 1979. We showed up at the Carbondale Illinois Staples and AJ went to work. AJ took and old photo off my phone and made us look great. I recommend Staples and Miss AJ.

    Only two stars because the staff that finally helped me out was courteous. The wait was insufferable -- one employee asking another to help out in shipping and he basically ignored her. She was working hard with printing and needed the help at the shipping / UPS dropoff and was ignored after requesting multiple times. The few of us in line just made eye contact and felt bad about the situation. UPS dropoffs are not profitable - I get it. Sadly, I won't be back for other office supplies after this experience. Hate leaving reviews like, I just couldn't find much good here.

    Needed an office chair, got the help I needed and was out the door in less than 15 minutes! Thank you so much! I appreciate having a store where I can try out something vs buying on Amazon with unlnowns such as how it sits, etc
