Apparently Office Max does not have the same adds for every market.


06/27 - 07/03/ -- 50% off one shipment (up to a $10 value)


The coupon is in Sunday's Office Max Flyer.
Airborne Ground is the best value, and transit time is better than UPS in my experience. Airborne also charges a residential fee (The OfficeMax employees sometimes forget to add it in) Ymmv, as far as how many times you can do this in one day/week per store. Insurance Info Link

W. RESIDENTIAL DELIVERY CHARGE
For residential delivery of air or ground shipments to all ZIP codes, a charge of $1.35 per shipment will apply in addition to all other applicable charges.

EE. Delivery Area Surcharge
For delivery of air or ground shipments to Outlying Delivery Areas (Bold Black ZIP) or Remote Delivery Areas (Light Black ZIP), a charge of $1.75 per shipment will apply in addition to all other applicable charges.

They should have been happy. Thinking that they potentially stole a Staples customer ? Useful thread

On Wednesday, I tried to use the 50% coupon at the OM closest to my house, and the package came out to be like $12, so the cashier said that I can't use the coupon. I was like "what the," yeah he obviously don't have that many airborne customers and/or can't read. I had to break it down to him, but he disagreed until finally the manager came and straighten things out. Thank God! at least somebody knew how to read.
So this morning when I ship there again, coincidentally I forgot my coupon this time and there was no more ads left in the store, but to my surprise, the same guy just took the 50% off automatically. He was probably afraid of being embarassed again or thought that the pieces of paper in my hands were some other coupon, but at any rate, I got what I wanted and that made my morning.

Does anyone know how Air Borne ship rate is compared to FedEx or UPS? 50% coupon is great but if Air Borne is expensive more than double the others, then it's not so good.


alert mods    

You could call and find out.
I ship Airborne ground, so the free or 1/2 off is less expensive than any other method. And the speed of delivery is very good.


alert mods    

hmm to me, even without 50% off, airborne was cheaper than UPS. The price was slightly higher than what I got from internet quote but still cheaper than UPS.

Go to the Airborne homepage and click the rates option at the top of the page.

For what it's worth, when you enter the info on your package, they show the Airborne rate and the "comparable" Fedex and UPS rates. Naturally, they show themselves to be cheapest(usually).

Dang, need to ship something next week.. but no deal
Gotta ship full price then!


alert mods    

full price?

but the half price of the OfficeMax price

is nearly the same as the normal airborne price if you just ship 2-3 IB stuff

Airborne's online rates are usually a few cents cheaper than FedEx or UPS, but most OfficeMax stores jack up the price by 25-33%.

Good luck getting Airborne to back up their own insurance on items shipped. They dropped a computer on the sidewalk right in front of the buyer and admit that they are at fault but 3 months later, 3 faxes later and many hours on the phone they still haven't settled the claim.

Hum, I didn't know that they charge a hefty surcharge. Ok, I'll shop around then.
Thanks.

They even gave me 50% off on my $48 shipping fee, cut it to half as $24.
Isn't the max discount to be $10?
