Staples, DoorDash Launch On-Demand Delivery Option

Office supplies retailer Staples and delivery platform DoorDash have teamed up to provide shoppers with same-day, on-demand delivery just in time for back-to-school season.

Nearly 1,000 Staples locations in the United States are now available on the DoorDash marketplace, where branded and private label items can be found, including pencils, index cards, notebooks, printers, calculators and much more. With the new, enhanced delivery option, school supplies can be delivered in under an hour on average.

To kick-off the 2023 school year, U.S. consumers can get $20 off Staples’ orders of $40+ using code STAPLES20, now through Aug. 13.

According to recent insights from the National Retail Federation (NRF), back-to-school spending this year is expected to reach $41.5 billion, up from $36.9 billion in 2022 and above the current record of $37.1 billion reached in 2021. Back-to-college spending is expected to hit $94 billion, about $20 billion more than 2022’s record.
