It looks like if you have something shipped to the store, you pay for it online.

Yeah I'm saying work with the local store to have something special ordered and pay upon receipt.

Don't think it'd work for what I would've wanted to do (price match to an online retailer), use a Staples $25 off $75 or more, and the eGift card.

Post by: Photoelectric on Thu, 20 June 2013, 14:27:09: I believe you can still come into the store and have them order an item for you from their on-line catalog to be shipped to that store. I have done that with small USB wall chargers. So you can come in, order, pay with the certificate, and then pick up your stuff from that store when it arrives. I would double-check, but I think it should work for this deal.

Sweet that's what I thought, I mean it's the same principle as order to store just the store is doing the ordering not you.
