YMMV on the coupon match. They are supposed to. Don't let the cashiers tell you no. Make them verify with a manager.

I was there just yesterday. Asked a cashier just to make sure they would take a staples coup before I filled up my cart. She didn't know, so she verified with a manager, and said yes. I picked up my stuff, and went to check out. That cashier went on break (damn) so I went to another one. This one told me no, we don't accept staples coupons. I said I just checked with the other one, and she verified with a manager. So she asks another cashier who also says no. I tell them to go ask the manager. 10 minutes later, they're taking it. Grrr.

So yes they do, but the cashiers may not know.

Also a big sign in my office max states explicitly that when pricematching to an online store, they will add overnight shipping, just like staples.

<< This pricematch guarantee is now ONLINE!!! Here are the terms:

115% Low Price Guarantee


If you find a lower price at any office product superstore on a new identical item, just show us the lower price when you buy the item at OfficeMax or within 14 days after your OfficeMax purchase and we'll give you 115% of the difference.

Our 14-day price-match guarantee is good on everything from office supplies to the latest technology. The item must be in stock and available for purchase at that price from a company located in the U.S.

If you find a lower price in an OfficeMax store, OfficeMax catalog or at OfficeMax.com, we will match the lower price. The additional 15% of the price difference does not apply.

The item must be identical. For example, it must have the same U.S. manufacturer's warranty. It must also have the same model number and contain the same components. As another example, for pagers and wireless phones, the service plan, service provider and other terms must be the same.

OfficeMax reserves the right to verify another company's product availability and price before issuing a price match guarantee.

Available coupons and rebates will be deducted from the OfficeMax price to come up with a new OfficeMax price when calculating the price match. For example, if you buy an item from us for $100 and we offer a $10 rebate, the net price is $90. If the item is available from another company for $90 or more, there will be no price match. Another example would be if you buy an item from us for $139 and you have a $30 coupon; the net price is $109. If the item is available from another company for $105 the price match will be for $4.60 (115% of the difference).

Shipping and handling charges are included. When comparing our price to another company's delivery price, the equivalent shipping and handling charges will be included. If proof of the other company's shipping and handling charges are not supplied, then $5 will be added to the other company's price. For example, if you buy an item from us for $100, with free overnight delivery, and the item is available from another company for $90 with overnight shipping and handling charges of $7, then the difference is $3. You would receive 115% of $3, which is $3.45.

If another company offers a product that comes with a free or discounted item and OfficeMax does not carry the free or discounted item, there will be no price match. For example, if another company offers a free product with the purchase of a printer, and the OfficeMax price is equal to the company's price for the printer, there will be no price match if OfficeMax does not carry the free product being offered.

We may limit the quantity of an item that may be price-matched. For example, if the other company limits the number you may buy, we may also limit the number. In addition, OfficeMax reserves the right to limit quantities sold to a customer.

We price match almost everything. We don't price match products and services provided by third party representatives in our stores or Web site (for example, tax preparation, payroll services and corporate logos), custom products, OfficeMax.com Specialty Shops items, OfficeMax.com Business Services, items sold at local or special events (e.g., grand opening, anniversary or liquidation sales) or products sold on Internet auction sites. We also don't price match taxes or typographical errors.
