Staples has been working to reactivate the COVID-19 related items and increase stock levels as product becomes
available from the manufacturers. We are prioritizing existing healthcare orders and implementing system changes to
limit critical products to only identified customers.

New messaging has been added on StaplesAdvantage to alert ALL customers that some items will be restricted until
stock levels have returned to normal. Your account is already on the list of identified accounts, and you will be able to
place orders as items are reactivated. The assortment will vary by manufacturer/product ETA, and existing back orders
will continue to take priority as product is received at our warehouses.

       Search by Staples item #, Manufacturer Part # - or -
        *FIRST RESPONDERS & HEALTH CARE ONLY*

       Items with the Description *FIRST RESPONDERS &
        HEALTH CARE ONLY* are available to be ordered by
        first responder/healthcare customers, however the
        item may still be on backorder.

       Before adding to your cart, click the Check
        Delivery Date for estimated availability.
            Delivery date estimates are subject to change without notice.
