Ok, so this will be my first attempt of price matching with staples, so does staples allow price match against costco.ca website? if yes, can I add additional discount coupons the one which gets you $30 for $150 and another $20 for next 200 purchase?

Can I price match, and add this coupons by phone? if yes what is their phone number?

You are basically at the mercy of the manager at Staples unless you really want to push it and take it further. They will usually bend over if you put enough pressure on them.

Good luck!

No Costco membership required to purchase from their online store, so Staples has no valid reason to deny a PM. IF I were you I would send an online PM request and then use the 2 coupon codes.

http://www.staples.ca/ENG/CSR/csr_contact_us.asp?CSREmailAddress=bd%2Epricematch %40orders%2Estaples%2Ecom&Subject=Price+Match&OrderRequiredFlag=No

Enter the following in the comments box:
- item(Western Digital 1TB My Book Pro Edition II External Hard Drive)
- staples item number 667107
- quantity requested(1)
- competitors price($389.99)
- link to competitors item

If your PM is approved they will send you an email saying so. Then you order it from their website and apply any coupons you might have(maximum of 2). When you receive the order email you reply back to it with the details from the PM approved email added. Then they will reply later saying your credit card has been credited for the price difference.
