What’s awesome is spending lots of time on the phone with OfficeMax customer service trying to get them to do something about my December 10th order of bubble envelopes that still hasn’t even shipped. They claim one business day shipping on most orders and have the delivery date on the order projected as December 12th, 2003 which is practically a million billion years ago. The status code even says “PIP – order received, filling order in delivery center” like I’m some sort of sub-idiot man-jerk.
I am in fact typing this up as I’m sitting on hold listening to OfficeMax advertisements (“when you think ink, think OfficeMax!”). This is the third time I’ve called them today, the previous two times I’ve been transferred to other departments. One time I wound up on the phone with a bank for some reason which, the lady I was talking to there agreed, was totally the wrong place for me to be.
This is actually an improvement over the two other occasions I’ve called them since the 10th asking about my order. Both of those times I was told someone would call me back and nobody did. So I at least feel a bit better about being transferred around even if it means each time I reach a dead end I have to hang up and call back and wait for one of their representatives to be free. I at least feel like I’m just one transfer away from a solution rather than waiting for a phone call that will never ever come, ever.
If there is ever a market for tell-all books by musicians (possibly with lots of swearing) on the subject of postage and envelopes and office supplies and maybe the crushing impact of this knowledge on a person’s ability to write songs, I am going to god damn write it.
Still on hold. I hope I’m at least getting punk rock indie cred or something for this.

Me oh my I type soooo fast. How do I make it through a day without Carryover correcting all of us.
Hi Officecraper!! Pushover didn’t slip and crack his head on the ice, he’s still trying to figure out how to play with himself. He can’t find it!! SHHHH (it’s too small)

i recently shopped at an office max store in Johnson City, TN. What a wonderful, unexpected experience! I was use to shopping a Staples, which I think has a cold, picked-over warheouse feel, but office max was much cleaner, well organized and their prices were much better. The sales people in the store were knowledgeable yet not pushy and seemed happy to be there. I will shop office max for all of my supply needs from now on! Thank you office max!

Okay sophie or should we say “CARRYOVER in disguise. Carryover, I know you think were a bunch of morons and stupid, but we know its you.
You can do better than that.

i agree that office max is much better than staples. the workers at staples are stupid! i was in a staples store last week looking for a printer and the guy took me to the fax machines. needless to say, i left and found exactly what i was looking for at office max and their price was lower than staples, best buy, office depot, target and circuit city. i too will only buy my office supply needs from office max for now on.
steve on OfficeMax
February 16, 2007 at 12:21 pm
Right on Jan and Sophie! I think your opinion is much more valuable than the others who constantly down office max here on this blog. I agree with carrover that they must be holding some kind of grudge. It’s a shame they can’t find the dignity in themselves to move on with their lives.

OfficeMax is building a store near me and I can’t wait for it to open. Staples and Depot have been taking advantage of their market position for too long and it’s about time someone gave them a run for their money. Staples and OD have been taking their customers for granted for too long.

I agree that OfficeMax use to suck before Boise purchased them, but I also agree with Sophie, Jan, Steve and Tuborg above that they have turned the corner and have far surpassed their competitors in service. I think the people on this blog need to separate their emotions from reality.

Carryover strikes AGAIN!!!! YOU ARE THE BIGGEST MORON I HAVE EVER MET.
hmmmm. Post time starting with Jan, 12:17, next 12:21, then 12:37 finally 12:40. HMMMM just changing Name Carryover. GET A LIFE & A JOB CARRYOVER. WHAT DELIVERING PIZZA DOESN’T PAY ENOUGH.

twinkie,
Why do you find it so hard to believe that we had positive retail experiences at office max? I can not speak for the others who have had positive things to say, but what I say is true. I truely believe that they are a great company. I don’t know what your beef is with office max, but I think you should turn down your rhetoric. It’s unbecoming of you. You come off like a grovling troll.

Carryover your S T U P I D. Give it up! If your going to pretend to be someone different, then make them not sound and write like you. DUMB-ASS. Your just changing the name section of the blog. 3 to 4 min. between the blogs gives you enough time to write each one and then do another. They all sound exactly how you write and sound.
Did you just back from delivering PIZZA!!
OFFICECRAPER on OfficeMax
February 16, 2007 at 3:01 pm
LOL Pushover
You are more then Pathetic all those post and not waiting for more time before you did it
We all could change our names to and make it seem like there are more of us
How truly PATHETIC of you this just helps us to see how small you really are
WHAT A FAG!!!

Hi Again Officecrapper!!!!! Give Carryover a break, he must be cross-dressing again. That happens when you play with yourself too much. He keeps forgetting who he is.
I know, I know, it’s okay Pushover it’s hard to accept that Officemax sucks. Take your own advice, you need to move on and get over it.

I live in the metropolitan detroit area and officemax is the best retail office supply distributor in the business. I vote for officemax!! Twinkie and officecrapper suck dick and are full of shit. Rock on carryover. Hope you come back to defend against these donkeys soon.

February 16, 2007 at 3:25 pm
Sorry so sorry your right twinkie maybe that’s what this is all about we just need to give him more time to come to his senses
That’s why I wanted him to slip and fall on the ice and crack his head open
twinkie on OfficeMax
February 16, 2007 at 3:31 pm
Poor, Poor Pushover, there he goes again.
Officecrapper, we need to feel sorry for him, HE CAN’T seem to find it. Let’s hope this weekend he will and then he will feel sooo much better by Monday. He just can’t move on.
OMX SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

I just purchased a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 5000 from my local OfficeMax store here in LA and it was the bes shopping experience I’ve had in any retail outlet in years. Cudos to OfficeMax. I love the new Advantage store layout and even got to catch up on some e-mails after makeing my purchase and waiting for some copies. Even the coffee was good. Great job OfficeMax. I’ll be back!
Officecrapper on OfficeMax
February 16, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Funny twinkie all the stores charge the same price for a fucking printer lets take a HP
If its $199.99 it’s the same price at any of the stores except staples its always $199.98
So again why shop at OMX where they treat all the employees like shit and the customer like shit and try and ram extended warrantees down your throat like they are going out of style while wearing there head sets as there manager says add on ink with that printer photo paper and pens don’t for get the staples STAPLES shit just go to Staples

office crapper and twinkie make me laugh. I think they both should go back to Mexico where they’re legal and lick each others ass until they both ascend to heaven.

February 16, 2007 at 4:14 pm
I agree. Twinkie and OfficeCrapper are blood sucking whores who think they shouldn’t have to work and everything should be handed to them on a silver platter. They live off of us tax payers and sit at home, in the trailer we payed for, on the computer we paid for, over the cable we’re paying for, because they hurt their foot, or back and can’t work. They are the type that drive around town and when they get to Home Depot, they stick the handicap sign on their rearview mirror so they can park up front. I hope their kerosene heater blows up and knocks some sense into them. They suck.

We now have sniffles/Pushover. You sound like a commercial, Pushover. I’m sure you’ll post 10 more different people Which are Satisfied Customers of OMX. Pushover give us all a break, nobody who is satisfied would waste their time and effort to post on this blog. Only you!! Your a joke.

I shop at OfficeMax all the time for everything. They have wonderful stores with wonderful people. I’m not sure how Office Crapper keeps his job there. Judging by the caliber of empolyee I’ve encountered, they aren’t the type of organization to put up with his whining and bull shit. OfficeMax is too good for Office Crapper. I hope he gets fired so he can find out the hard way that the grass isn’t always greener and sometimes has snakes. Anyone who trashes their employer, the very source of income for their family, deserves the worst and I hope Office Crappper gets his.

For anybody working at officemax or copymax: When they fire you, they’ll have you write out your side of whatever story they’re firing you for. They use this against you, and they can use it to screw you out of unemployment. In some cases, unemployment will deny your claim if you willfully violated a handbook rule, and copymax can produce this to prove it, even if the real story is more complicated or they simply lied, as they did with me. Use this chance to completely deny every charge, even if it was witnessed by others. They’ll tell you they can’t accept it if it isn’t accurate. Just insist that’s the story you’re sticking with and refuse to rewrite it. They’ll say that you’ll be fired for sure (usually they say they’ll “investigate†for a few days, then let you know), but you’re getting fired anyway. They just don’t want to deliver the bad news in the store. With the history of fucking and mistreating employees that they’ve racked up, they’re justifiably afraid of what you might do. So if the time comes, you can at least make life difficult for them.
This will be happening a lot these days. The managers are under some directive to cut payroll, so they are getting rid of people who make too much. I was fired first, and soon after about a dozen other people, the best paid, were fired and almost immediately replaced with part-time kids who get minimum wage and no benefits. These were good people, old-timers, who couldn’t possibly have deserved it.

OfficeMax is the best of the big 3 office supply dealers because they try harder. I would never take advice for where to shop from a bunch of jerk off losers who have been fired from the very store they complain about anyway. To me, that’s only proof that the company is moving in the right direction by throwing out the garbage. This blog is the dump yard, the final resting place, for all the discarded OfficeMax employees. Good riddance.
