The GCs are shipped separately from their 'activation code' for security purposes. They may arrive up to a few days after the GCs.  If you don't get your activation code or they are delayed and you are in a hurry:
Call 1-866-357-7391, press 3 to speak to a CSR.
(How To Activate Staples Visa GCs Without the Activation code. http://travelwithgrant.com/2014/05/12/how-to-activate-200-visa-gift-cards-from-staples-com-without-the-activation-codes/ )
Recently they've sometimes been emailing activation codes. Also check your spam folder.


PSA:  VISA rebate cards may be an issue if used to purchase VCG's from Staples online. It seems to be YMMV.  With larger orders more likely to invite scrutiny.
In store they work fine.

Dunno about you folks, but I will continue to buy them in store.  There is something to be said for having hakores hatov to the store manager(s) who have been taking care of me for a long time.  When you buy GC's in store it increases the register sales and makes the store look good.  I have actually been asked on occasion to buy more GC's if the store was having a slow day. 
What do you do after your dreams come true?

OH, please tell your manager to start selling VR's. He will never have a slow day again :).

I'm sure they will happily sell them for cash, just like everyone else.

Both my orders shipped but the process is really slow and they will not arrive until the 12th. I think I will stick to my local staples.

If you are referring to the store manager(s), yes they know.  I am not the only one who buys.  They know the shtick full well.  That being said, I am very fortunate to have developed a relationship with several managers who have taken very good care of me.
