Here are some tips for using the OD contract:

• Use “Live Chat” feature to inquire about products if you need more info that the site provides.  If you ever need other types of customer service, call 888-777-4044.
• There is no minimum order, but best practice is to order weekly, or when order value will exceed $30.  However, if there’s a valid urgency, go ahead and place a smaller order.  Avoid paying full retail at a local store.

Once you have an account:

 Delegation Options:
      Do you want to let someone else place Office Depot orders on your PCard, without the need to approve every purchase? Use this form.
      Are you an Approver, but will be unavailable to approve purchases, and want to appoint a temporary Proxy Approver? Use this form. Personal Reimbursement Requests
!!      Only in unusual circumstances should employees ever make a retail purchase and then request reimbursement
!!      Employees who make Office Depot purchases with personal funds pay full retail price; Contract savings are forfeited
!!      Full reimbursement is a waste of University resources – Departments may choose to reimburse at the contract rate, or not at all
