Once you transition into the Staples site to begin developing your order, please look to the right side of the screen for the Accura Preferred Items Shopping List. This Shopping List should be the first place that you reference when looking to order office products as these items will provide our communities with the best combination of price and quality. If you cannot find all the items that you need within the shopping list, you should then proceed to searching through the remainder of the Staples Advantage website to find the items that you need to complete your order.For any questions regarding your Staples Account or to ensure that your Staples Advantage profile is set-up properly for ordering through Procurement Partners, please reach out to your dedicated Staples Representative - Joseph Renna joseph.renna@staples.com.
