Office Depot Joins Member Advantage Roster »

Office Depot is the newest company to join ABA’s Member Advantage Program.

ABA members can save up to 35 % off Office Depot’ Web prices on items like furniture, copy and print, supplies and technology.

What does this mean to you? The typical adult spends more than $400 a year on office supplies. Apply the ABA discount to that figure, and you have a sizeable amount of savings. With the supplies needed for an average law firm, ABA members stand to save even more!

Case in point: While comparing office supply proposals, Member Advantage staff asked ABA Membership Committee Chair and GP|Solo Chair-Elect, Bob Zupkus, to supply a typical order from his firm. Turns out that Bob’s firm could have saved $90 off a $150 order with the ABA pricing at Office Depot! Naturally, savings will vary from order to order.

ABA pricing with this program will give small firms and individual purchasers the same buying power as companies that annually place large–scale orders.

Why Office Depot?

• Office Depot has more than 1,100 retail stores across the US, which translates to easy access for ABA members.
• Office Depot adopted "green" practices before it became the "buss" and offers the widest "green product assortment" in the office supply industry.
• Office Depot also sells computers, technology equipment and furniture. An additional advantage is Design, Print & Ship Depot, a new service that allows customers to send or bring in documents for full–service printing, copying, binding, finishing and design services.
• With a presence in 42 countries, Office Depot provides more office products and services to more customers in more countries than any other company.
