Do Staples sell cubes?

I've read on one website that they do... I'm going to my local Staples today which is right next to Pets at home. I thought I'd have a look in Staples.

I am not sure. Try calling them and possibly saving the trip.

Re: Do Staples sell cubes?

I had a look online once and at that point they didn't. Our local B&Q started stocking the cubes recently, do you have one of those nearby too?

Re: Do Staples sell cubes?

I dont think you can get them there but target is really cheap, like 12.00 for a box. Good Luck

Re: Do Staples sell cubes?

This is in the UK section, so we don't have Targets over here

I don't think that they do sell them, but nevertheless, go there and check it out. You may be lucky!

Re: Do Staples sell cubes?

Thanks everyone. Well I found out Staples don't have them. I rang up QD and they say all DQs stopped selling them in Christmas 2004! Grrr. They suggested giving Buyrights a call.. so I'll do that and if I can get to the nearest B&Q I'll check there. If all fails I think I will just have to save up big time and go with Kleeneze or Robert May :-(

Oh, apparently Homebase stocked them too at one point, so maybe try there too?

Re: Do Staples sell cubes?

poor you.
I wouldn't reccomend kleeneze as you cannot make tunnels or hay racks out of the odd cubes, sorry!

Re: Do Staples sell cubes?

okay, thanks! That'll be my last option then. My only option seems to be Robert May but this will cost me roughly £100 as I have seventeen guinea pigs. :-( I'm fourteen and I earn £8 a week. I've saved up around £60 for the grids so far... I haven't tried B&Q yet though, but I don't have much hope that they'll have them :'(

Re: Do Staples sell cubes?

well, I don't know whether I can do this and my parents will allow me but, I live in South london, and I could always go and get you three packs for £66 and send them to you with a second class royal mail packaging(£3.00 per item). If that's the case then it'll save you about £25 pounds! Maybe I can persuade my dad to pick me up some whilst he's there!
You don't have to it's just a thought. Think about it and then I'll ask my dad. If he says yes, I'll pm you his answer, my email so you can email your address!
You do want three right?

Re: Do Staples sell cubes?

I got mine from kleeneze, but 1 of my grids broke in TWO places, can you believe that? Are you alright after the bombings?

Re: Do Staples sell cubes?

Me? I'm fine - thanks for asking! Luckily I don't live in central London. With kleeneze, each grid is precious because they're so damn expensive!
