paper rebate

Cant find a better value with rebate. Very displeased with instant rebate. When I seen "instant rebate" I was expecting the rebate be applied at register upon buying. Ive had this several times and its no hassle. Your idea of "instant" perhaps meant "easy" My first attempt applying online wasn't successful so failed at easy. Upon second attempt some 2 weeks later (time elapse my fault but that's problem with buying anything having a rebate) I was successful. Once submitted online told it would take 4-6 weeks. Okay not my idea of "INSTANT". From start till end could approach 3 months again not "instantly". Last comment Im paying sales tax on the full value not the discounted rebated amount. IN this case it was significant. Still a great value but I sure hate paying sales tax when I shouldn't. Overall-Product&value-Excellent. Rebate-Poor
I took advantage of the great deal on Staples and Hammermill copy paper. A couple of days later a better deal came out. The store employees went out of their way to make sure I got the best deal and helped us navigate the rebate system. good job Staples!
I purchased 2 packs of Staples copy paper 5-ream case. I just opened them now and most of the reams are broken open. Many of the pages have dog-eared corners. I put a ream into my printer and of course the paper keeps jamming. It is so frustrating to constantly have to clear a jam in the printer. I usually buy Hammermill paper and I will continue to purchase Hammermill. I believe this is caused by not being in a cardboard box. I may try staples copy paper in the future but I will not buy the 5 ream case.
I bought two of these 5 ream cases because I received an ad that they were on sale for 4.99 each. It sounded like a good deal until I reached the cashier who told me that he would bill me 29.99 (each!) and all I would have to do is read through the two feet long rebate submitting instructions to get a mail in rebate in form of a Visa card in 4-6 weeks. Well I again thought we'll give it a try only to realize two weeks later that I lost my receipt (despite the dent it left in my wallet since it was so big and folded several times!). 60 bucks for two of these is nothing short of outrageous so I will try to return the wonderful purchase I thought I made and hope that my purchase comes up under my rebate card as I was promised it would. No more mail- in rebate 'deals' for me. They are a pain!
Buying this paper I thought it was going to be the cheap quality paper because it is a store brand item and the price was low. The first time I opened the ream and placed the paper in the printer I realized that it was stronger then what I used to buy. It was whiter then the yellowish paper I used to buy. I told myself it couldnt be made from overseas because there was a big difference from the other paper I use to buy. so turned over the packaging and I read that it was Made in the USA. Nothing esle to say but seroiusly worth the money and the added benefit that I was also supporting my countries economy.
