When ordering your departmental office supplies you may "shop around" to see where you can get the best price. While the College has contract pricing from Staples, you are not required to buy from them.
Along with Staples Office Supply, numerous customers have found Office Max and Race Office Supply (local vendor) to have some very competitive pricing. Although some companies may not be able to deliver next day we have found that these are vendors that can deliver 2nd day and save you money.
