To kick off the 2023/2024 school year, U.S. consumers can get $20 off orders of $40 or more using the code STAPLES20 through Aug. 13, 2023.

Since Q2 2021, DoorDash has been aggressively expanding its reach via delivery deals with a wide range of retailers, including Rite Aid, Dollar General, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Tractor Supply and Kroger. In January 2023, DoorDash also introduced package pickup services to streamline returns processes.
