Penn State General Stores switches to Office Depot for online ordering

Penn State employees have a convenient option when it comes to ordering office supplies: General Stores, the University’s exclusive office and janitorial supply provider, offers fast and easy online shopping and many other advantages.

On Feb. 5, General Stores will switch from Office Max to Office Depot as its online order supplier. Penn State customers will continue to enjoy all that General Stores online shopping has to offer, along with quality products offered by Office Depot.

Ordering online through eBuy is easy and convenient. Customer login remains the same by accessing the site through eBuy, then clicking on General Stores to be directed to the new Office Depot ordering page.

The new Office Depot ordering platform is easy to navigate and enhancements provide convenient shopping. Customers can see what’s in stock (General Stores items are coded with Z11 at the beginning of the item number), see recently viewed and recommended items, track orders, and create a shopping list of favorites with updated pricing. The video training library offers a glimpse of the new site design.

Here are a few more reasons to shop General Stores:

  • A wide variety of products are discounted up to 75 percent off the manufacturer’s list price.
  • In-stock items are delivered the next day.
  • Returns are easy and hassle-free — General Stores handles it all.
  • Orders are billed directly to the department — Penn State employees don’t need a Purchasing Card to order from General Stores.
