Well I just checked my order status and noticed that the printer is coming via UPS and my clips are coming via courier. I must have been a bonehead on the shipping options because it won't be arriving till the 15th (or so it says)...maybe I just rushed through the order - oh well.
In any case, I called staples and said that they really don't need to make a special trip out for the paperclips, but I'd pay for them anyways.
OH NO - if that were done then they'd have to refund the difference and I'd lose the $30 off. "Company policy, and it's no inconvenience to us at all". No inconvenience to deliver a box of paperclips via courier - if you say so....
Just thought I'd share.
