Here’s a quick tip for small business owners that you have to start using right now! This will help you save time when your schedule is busy. And it’s a super easy hack.

When you work for yourself, it’s a delicate balance of prioritizing, delegating, and completing tasks. I’m busy all the time, but it’s important to have a good sense of time management and feel relaxed throughout the day. So I am always finding ways to automate, organize, and save time.

Here’s an awesome tip I picked up at Office Depot that can save you around 15-30 minutes every time you shop at Office Depot or OfficeMax!

If you are like me, you often need 1 more roll of bubble wrap, printer ink, or shipping labels. We use so many different office supplies that sometimes you just run out of that one thing you need. This time around it was printer ink for my new HP OfficeJet Pro.

I print a lot for my business both professionally and at home too. Running out of ink or running out of anything else, can stop by business dead in its tracks. It’s really bad – so I have to make sure we have ample stock of all kinds of things all the time.

If you know what you need and want to save some time, visit Office Depot online and use the Buy Online Pick-up In Store option.

Not only will this show you what’s in stock, so you can be sure that you get everything you need. But, you can also save 15-30 minutes of looking for the items you need in store. And with printer ink, like what I ordered, it’s a great way to ensure there’s no confusion about which cartridge to get!

Using Buy Online Pick-up In Store feature is easy. When you go online to Office Depot just look for a little icon underneath the product that shows whether it’s available for in store pick up and/or available for delivery.

As you check out you will be given an option to choose this service. All you need to do is pay for the items online and it’s free to use too!

When you choose Buy Online Pick-Up In Store you will be asked if you will be picking up the item or if someone else will be picking it up.

This is the perfect way to send an employee on the errand for you without needing to do a reimbursement later or sending them with a company credit card.

When your order is ready, you will receive an email or text message. Most items are available same day if you order before 2pm. I ordered my printer ink at night and picked it up the next morning! If you order after 2pm, you can pick up most items the next day.

Oh and did I mention that the staff will have your items ready for you at checkout? Since these items are already paid for online, you can skip the line and save even more time!

There are so many reasons that the Buy Online Pick-up In Store feature is awesome.

When you need something, anything for your business NOW, save yourself the headaches and use this feature.

So the real question is – What are you going to do with your extra time you save by using the Buy Online Pick-up In Store feature from Office Depot?!

Use this as an opportunity to stay stress free and crush your goals.
