Poor quality

These new versions of our trusted Staples pads are perforated poorly so the pages rip unevenly when you go to tear one off. I am returning the pads that I ordered.
I ordered this mistakenly thinking that there would be more than one in a pack. It's definitely not worth $6+ - find a less expensive alternative if you can.
Have purchased and used these notepads for over 10 years. They USED to be a great product. No more. Staples has substituted thin notepaper that allows the ink to show through on the flip side. Not worth buying at this point. It would have been better to raise the price and leave the quality intact. Staples might now reconsider.
These pads have been my very favorite for a number of years so I didn't think twice restocking with the same. However my latest order has a noticeable change in quality. Still same narrow rule still sturdy back but the color and feel of the paper is inferior. The paper has a pink-gray cast to it and individual sheets feel slightly more flimsy. I am disappointed not to receive exactly the same quality as I'd received before. The strange thing is that I ordered five pads and four are the dingy color while one which was shrink-wrapped separately from the other four is whiter.
I have used your pads for many years now and was quite surprised when I received my last order and noted that even though they were still labeled "narrow ruled" this was no longer the case. still using the pads but would have appreciated a change in product description during the ordering process.
My husband uses these pads for work. When his workplace started ordering another brand he was not happy. We bought these for him to use at work. He likes them so much that he paid for them himself.
