I was really excited about the Office Max deals this week because we're running low on paper. And who can beat free paper? But I didn't really have time in the schedule to take all three little ones to Office Max in the next few days.
So I figured out a way to order online and actually pay less than I would pay in-store. It's a tad complicated, but hang with me while I explain how to get
these items free, with free shipping, and get a little money back, too:
::Sign up for a MaxPerks card here (unless you already have a card). Write down your MaxPerks card number.
::Go to RetailMeNot, search for OfficeMax, and click through the free
shipping code listed at the top of the page. This will automatically
update your account to include free shipping on any order of $50 or
more.
::Sign up for an account with ShopAtHome (gives 4% back on
Office Max purchases plus a $5 bonus for new sign-ups, but you must
earn $20 in rebates before you receive a payment) or Ebates (gives 3%
back on Office Max purchases plus a $5 bonus for new sign-ups. You only
have to place one order and your check will be issued at the end of the
quarter.)
::Search for OfficeMax through ShopAtHome or Ebates and click through to the website.
::Buy any combination of the following free after MaxPerks items which equal $50 (so you can qualify for the free shipping): 5-Ream Case of Copy Paper (2500 sheets)–$16.99 (Limit 3); Manila Folders (100-count)–$6.99 (Limit 3); or Bankers Boxes (10-pack)–$9.99 (Limit 3) (I purchased 3 5-Ream Cases of copy paper and my total was just over $50.)
::Checkout and make sure to input your MaxPerks Rewards card number.
::Your MaxPerks Bonus Rewards card should arrive in the mail within
a few weeks and should automatically be loaded with your Bonus Rewards.
::Plus, your ShopAtHome account or your EBates account will be credited with your rebate. So you'll end up only paying a few dollars or less out of pocket. (And if you are a new sign-up with ShopAtHome or Ebates, you'll get the $5 sign-up bonus which could actually turn this into a money-maker after the MaxPerks Reward and cashback rebate!)
::This deal is good through October 24, 2009.
A big thanks to my brother, Nathaniel, for suggesting I try getting this online! I have 7500 sheets of paper coming and I will only have paid around $1.50 total (due to tax) for it after my MaxPerks reward (which I'm planning to use to buy printer cartridges–something I already needed!) and cashback rebate. How's that for a deal?

Well the deal is gone now pooh
So, if I’m not a teacher and I don’t have a business, can I still get this reward? I don’t already have a MaxPerks card.
I ordered my 3 boxes of paper yesterday and promptly received them today! Can’t beat that for service & free shipping. What a wonderful delivery man too … put them right inside my front door.
Will be shopping there more often for my office needs! Now I can’t wait to receive those perks … will be watching the mail for my card. Does anyone have an idea as to how long it actually takes to receive that card?
The paper is still available when I go to their website and add it in my cart, so maybe those experiencing problems should give it another try.
Bummer!! They are saying the paper deal is discontinued!! I’m so sad.
Thanks its a great offer. I will immediately go for it. They really provide good quality i know but the price tag is really attractive.
I couldn’t find the average Joe sign-up for the MaxPerks, so we did the business one, since we also have that. Do we not get the $51 added to ours since it’s a business one? Anyone know?
I hope it does! We’re really excited to get the paper!
Thank you for all your comments, those helped too.
I ordered 3 reams of paper yesterday (10/21) around 1 PM and my paper was delivered today!
I also called Office Max’s number on their website and spoke with a real person. She said that if you just a person (not a teacher and not a business), you should use the Business Rewards program.
Thanks for the great savings!!
Worked up here in Anchorage, AK. Ordered the paper yesterday and it was just delivered. Plus there is no sales tax in Anchorage! Will use the maxperks rewards for ink as well. I’ll share the paper with friends because there is no way we’ll use that much paper before we move again!
After receiving the order confirmation, it said the item was discontinued(2500 sheets printing paper) not available to delivery. Is anyone have the same situation like me? should I call CS task them to have something for replacement?
Unless OfficeMax has recently changed their Max Perks rebates policy, any items that are purchased with Max Perks rebates will not earn more Max Perks rebates. The items have to be purchased with cash or credit. This has been my finding for the last year or so.
For those that asked: “Bonus Rewards for these offers, along with any other Bonus Rewards a Member may have earned during the same period, will be issued in the form of a reward card redeemable toward future purchases. Reward card expires 90 days from date of issuance except for reward cards for FL Members, which expire 1 year from date of issuance.”
Has anyone gotten their rewards yet? I actually figured this deal out the day before the post for it here so I really thought I’d have gotten the rewards by now. Curious if any of you have? Thanks!
