I feel a bit guilty so I thought I would share my story with others in the hopes that I can pay back Staples for their niceness. You see, recently I ordered some freezable ice packs from the office supply store but somehow I made a mistake. Instead of ordering four ice packs, I ended up ordering four boxes of 24 ice packs.<\/p>\n
Basically my desk at TMC is now surrounded by these things and they weigh a ton. I called Staples to tell them I made a mistake and a pleasant woman told me I would receive a call about how to return my items in the next few days.<\/p>\n
The call came later that day and the voicemail said the warehouse didn’t need any more of the product I was sent but I will receive a refund. The caller suggested I dispose of or donate them.<\/p>\n
So often I use this blog to complain about companies who do things I don’t like, I wanted to make sure to also point out that sometimes companies do positive things that are worthy of sharing.<\/p>\n
Sure, I don’t think I will ever use this many ice packs and I am not sure where I would donate them to. In the mean time I have been giving some of them to TMC team members and if you read this blog, I suggest you too shop at Staples — perhaps you will get something for nothing or maybe you will help me repay them for their generosity and get rid of some of this guilt I keep feeling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
