Back-to-School Shopping Services

Staples Teams Up with DoorDash to Release a New Delivery Service

Staples and DoorDash are collaborating to provide consumers with same-day, on-demand delivery for Staples products. This program was created to help back-to-school shoppers get all of their academic tools in an accessible and convenient fashion. Consumers can browse through Staples' selection of products, which span pencils, index cards, notebooks, printers, calculators, and other school offerings.

To celebrate the launch of the Staples x DoorDash partnership, customers can use a $20 off coupon to receive a discount on their order of $40+. The new service can also be enhanced with priority delivery, which delivers an order in under an hour on average.

As back-to-school shopping is projected to hit an all-time high in 2023, Staples and DoorDash hope to alleviate some of the financial burdens commonly experienced by parents and students during this season.
