Office Depot/Office Max Changes

Greetings all, 

On July 1st a few exciting changes are coming to you from Office Depot / Office Max:  

GreenerOffice Delivery Service –OSU will switch to Office Depot / Office Max’s GreenerOffice Delivery Service.  The new GreenerOffice™ Delivery Service will reduce deliveries made using cardboard boxes and plastic air pillows and replace it with recycled paper bags with a convenient handle.  A significantly greater amount of wood is used in the production of corrugated boxes than what is used in the production of paper bags.  The bags are much easier to open and you can conveniently reuse or recycle the bags if you wish. 

Minimum Order Value Program – A new Minimum Order Value (MOV) Program of $50 will be in place.  Orders that meet the minimum threshold of $50 will be processed with free next day shipping. Orders below the minimum threshold of $50 may still be processed but will incur a delivery charge of $5.95.  When placing an order online, you may continue to add items to your shopping cart until you reach the MOV threshold. Once the threshold has been reached, you can proceed to online checkout.  

These changes are a smart and resourceful way of consolidating orders and deliveries on campus, decreasing the overall use of packing material needed and reducing OSU’s environmental impact. 

Regards,

Tamara Gash
