I have been searching for a tablet and I found one at Staples.com for a great price. The problem was that I wanted to pay cash for it and not put it on my card. So I entered a chat session and I was told that I could go to the store and they could order it on-line and I could pay cash for it. Great I thought at the time. The nearest Staples is over 30 miles away from where I live. I printed out the paper that described the tablet and had the price on it. Well when I got to the store I showed it to the cashier for them to order it and that is when the problems started. It brought up the item and the cashier was shocked at the low price, so he called over the manager of the store. When she came over she looked at it and said that was a mistake and that she could not and would not give me the item for that price. She promtly got on the phone and started talking about someone changing this item online. So needless to say I did not get the item that I wanted and I ended up in the hospital so I could not take care of that problem until I got out of the hospital.. When I did start to take care of that debacule it had changed on their web site. I have contacted Staples and all they do is give me the run around and say that it was not advertised as such, I still have my paper with the details on it. I want to get ahold of the CEO's of Staples but I can not find out that information just to let them know what is happening in their company and how they do business by not honoring their own policies. Now on to the BBB.
