I spent over an hour in the STAPLES on Buckeye in Ames. I have one suggestion. IF you are in DESPERATE NEED to have something done on time, DO NOT GO to this store. Its a waste of time. The person working told me she could make a PDF to email. I didnt know what I was doing and asked if the file was too big etc. OH NO. I asked if she could show me how to send it. She looked at me like I was stupid. After close to two hours total I gave up and went home. (she said her scanner was not working right) Next day, 43 dollars later and a thumb drive in hand (that is EASY to send) I found out she didnt COMPRESS THE PDF and not ONE COMPUTER SYSTEM in Ames would send it. NOT having the scanner working is no excuse for not making the file the right way. At least the ones I had access to (five in all). Every computer said FILE TOO LARGE. If they hire people who dont know what they are doing they should NOT tell people who HAVE to have something done, "sure, I can do that." I ended up spending another $35 to express mail the documents so they will arrive by Monday.

I visited this store to research computers knowing that I was going to replace the family laptop. Even though my wife and I stood in the aisle for 10+ minutes, not a single employee decided to walk the 20 from where they were standing to ask if we needed assistance. Luckily, each of the computers had an internet connection where I could look at reviews and additional specs from a Google search.

I love this store! Every time Ive gone into the store needing something, the staff has been friendly and very helpful. I bought all of my printers, a copy machine, ink, paper shredder, and office supplies from this Staples in Ames, and they have all been wonderful products.

My daughter went to buy a laptop with money from graduation. She got home and opened the box to find a used laptop locked with someone elses password. It even had a stain on it. They just tried to rip her off. Definitely poor service!!!

Staples is a staple to a college town. Very useful during my years at ISU and even afterwards when in Ames. I have been to nicer locations with better service though.

If they dont have it, they can get it quick and reasonably priced. I dont want to see this store go away.
