Staples Canada is your one-stop destination for business essentials, printing supplies and services, promotional products, and office furniture. The retailer has made a name for itself thanks to the great selection of products and the services it offers.

What’s more, it engages in big sale events and runs deals frequently so that you can also save. Its online store even features a deals section where there is always something on sale. To simplify your shopping experience even further, Staples Canada also offers different delivery services, and that’s what we focus on today.
Home Delivery – Time & Cost
Whenever you run out of time and cannot afford to shop for the various items you need in-store, you can seize the retailer’s home delivery services. They will not only save you time so that you can instead cater to other needs but will also save you money as, according to the information available on its shipping policy page, delivery is free within local trade areas. However, there may be a delivery charge for orders outside these areas.
It is also worth mentioning that Staples Canada does not deliver to certain remote locations. Plus, P.O. boxes cannot be used for the delivery address. Regarding delivery time, shipping is scheduled Monday to Friday, 9 am – 5 pm for business addresses and 7 am – 8 pm for residential.
Some products may take longer to ship, and you can get more details on the estimated date on the item’s page. Select items qualify for free next-day delivery. You can filter such products by 1-2 Business Days Delivery, and you can track your order by using the tracking number provided in the shipping confirmation email.
Free Curbside Pickup
If you don’t have the time to shop for the various items you need in-store, or you aren’t home during the day to accept packages, you can order online and opt for contactless curbside pickup. You can thus save both time and money, as this service is free of charge.
The process is simple, as all you have to do once you have added the items of interest to your shopping cart is select the “Buy Online Pick Up In-Store Option” during checkout. The curbside pickup service is not available at all Staples Canada stores, though. For a list including the stores that don’t offer curbside pickup, check the retailer’s curbside pickup page.
One thing we like about this option is that if you ordered within store hours, your pickup should be ready within two hours. Make sure to select the “Pick Up After 2 Hours” option on the product page, then change the delivery method to “Store Pickup” at checkout to benefit from this.
You can go pick up your order only after receiving the email confirmation that your order is ready for pickup. Once you reach the store and are in the parking lot, call the store, and an associate will bring your order. Your ID and the email confirmation are required, so make sure to have them ready.
Home Delivery via Instacart
If you need various products on the same day but time doesn’t allow you to shop for them in-store or use the pickup option, you can have them delivered to you the same day via Instacart. However, fees apply when using this service, but you get to save time. You can get your order in as fast as an hour or choose a dropoff time that suits your schedule best.
Placing an order via this service provider is pretty straightforward, and you can do so using the Instacart app or website. For same-day orders over $35, the delivery fee starts at $3.99. This fee varies for one-hour delivery orders, orders under $35, and club store deliveries. Plus, there is a separate fee for select orders, such as the ones including alcohol. It is worth mentioning that all orders must be at least $10 before being eligible for delivery.
If you intend to use Instacart more often, you might want to take a look at their Express membership to save even further. Instacart Express members get $0 delivery fees on every order over $35, as well as lower service fees.
