free printers?
HPShopping

Staples cost: CAD $15 shipping ~+ USD $11,40 to my doorstep
HP MSRP price: 999* USD $1,299 = USD $1,297,701

It's pathetic that I can get all the way through to the checkout with my cart like this. Staples really needs to hire some better programmers for tehir website.

Your order will go through and then gets rejected by Staples reps... all online orders go through a review by one of their reps before being approved...

But I agree, Staples does suck... they pull their products off the shelf if their competitor has a lower price in order to avoid their own 150% price match policy...

Obviously it won't go through, it's just stupid that I can get to the part where they request my CC information with my basket this way.

It's not just this item either, this just happened to be the one I was looking at. I can add any clearance item that's out of stock and it'll think that it's in stock and that it costs $0.00. I feel like making a massive cart and placing the order just to see the rep's reply :D

I don't have that problem as I've been blacklisted from Staples.com for "questionable coupon usage", that's all I will say ;)

As was said earlier, they manually check all orders to make sure there is no coupon abuse. I've had orders turned down for questionable usage of coupons but I you must've done it repeatedly to get blacklisted.
