Quality paper at a good price

Very pleased with the price and the quality of this paper. I buy a case of paper from time to time but my paper needs are low so this 5 ream case is a great deal.
Have had no problems with this paper in copy machine duplicator or computer printer. Have purchased this product for many years for the church office which uses quite a bit of paper.
I am not sure why I am being asked to review a ream of legal paper but I am compliant to meaningless requests such as paying a tax rate. Anyway I needed this only to print a contract. Who uses this size paper? No notebooks hold them. You have to fold the sheets to fit into anything. I have reams and reams of letter sized paper but needed to buy a ream of this to print out 12 pages. And after I printed out those pages and needed to mail them I could only find a $20 box of legal size mailers (100 count). Who needs a hundred of that size besides lawyers? How about selling them individually or in a small pack?
What can be difficult to like about having a heavy box of constantly-needed supplies delivered into my house by a Staples' driver with a smile??? Middle of an Ohio deepfreeze I ran out of paper and had no desire to leave my house get in a cold car walk across a parking lot buy a large heavy box of paper and lug it back out to the car and in to the house. Staple's Free IN HOME delivery was FANTASTIC and my genealogy research and computer time wasnt slowed down or stalled! The paper quality is totally suitable for the purpose I need and the price cant be beat.
I was asked to review this product via email. I complied. Here it goes... This is a ream of legal paper. I have tons of letter sized paper. However I needed to print a real estate contract that was emailed to me as a legal-sized PDF. I had to buy this ream to print out 12 pages. After I printed those 12 pages I realized I didn't have an envelope that fit this without folding it. I needed to buy a 100-cg box of legal sized envelopes (the Stapes in Watertown CT store did not sell any smaller amounts). The question that comes to mind is why legal paper is still used. They need to be folded to fit into conventional notebooks binders envelopes and folders. I guess it is to make lawyers feel a little bit special about their paper size in the manner that Ph.D.s and D.N.P.s and dentists need to address themselves as Dr. So-and-So at social gatherings.
