It appears to work fine

I purchased this item at my local store last week. The signage in the store said "$4.99 " but I neglected to see "after mail in rebate." The product itself is fine and it is all I bought on this trip. The cashier was nice enough to explain how the rebate worked what series of codes I needed to go home and input into the corporate server. I guess my only question is "Why did it have to be this way?" I suspect that many people would simply not take the short window of opportunity to go online and ask for their rebate/discount. It took me roughly four times as long to obtain my confirmation for receipt of my rebate submission as it did to drive the 1/2 mile to the store buy it and return home and it will be 2-4 weeks before I see it. Moreover it must cost Staples much more than $2.80 rebated/refunded to me process it and send it back to me than it would if they had simply offered the discount at the time of purchase. Such are the vagaries of buying stuff these days I suppose. I have nothing bad to say about the product or the nice cashier who helped me though the store has apparently moved all their office paper products from the right hand side of the building as it has been for decades to smaller islands near the front of the store which proved a tad confusing at first.
We purchased this paper because we received a rebate - as advertised in an Staples e-mail. It's nice to have an extra supply of paper on hand for our home printing needs.
I always wait for the sales and discounts to buy cases of paper. Staples has the best value when it comes to buying paper in the quantities that I need.
Multipurpose....so after I make copies of the meeting agenda I can make paper planes and origami...now that is multipurposing your paper!! Good paper brightness is good and that paper itself is good for lots of things from corporate folios to origami and spitballs.
