Right paper - Wrong pricing
on March 5, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
After locating the paper section of the store I identified the paper I was interested in but became confused amongst the multiple shelf rows of this paper all with the same SKU# but different pricing - $6.49 vs $5.99. An inquiry to a sales person to explain the difference was simply that there was a price change that overlooked changing all the pricings on the shelves and that the price should be the higher one ($6.49); oh really - the higher one? Makes one wonder why the $6.49 tags looked older and yellowed as opposed to the nice white ones with $5.99. As he proceeded to remove the $5.99 prices I commented that had I gone to the register I would have pointed out the error and should get the lower price; he agreed and said he would inform the register clerk at my checkout. In the interim I found this same paper promotionally stacked around the store with the $5.99 advertised price. I commented on that to the register clerk and her quick reply - "Oh well the price is wrong." OK - let me out of here.
This Staples copy paper works very well for all my office needs. I have not had any printer problems with it either. Buying a five ream case was a great bargain considering that it ended up practically being free because of the rebate promotion that Staples was running at the beginning of this year. I already received my Visa gift card in the mail for the balance. I can now use this gift card to purchase other office supplies or anything else that I need. So I only ended up having to pay the taxes. What a great deal!!
Great paper for the home office. I have not noticed any color bleed or smudging so far. Very good paper for general purpose use including copying and every day printing. I used a Staples coupon for this so it was virtually free but I like it enought that I would buy it again at regular price.
I bought this 5-pack of Staples brand paper because of the discount combined with the rebate offer. What's not to like about a purchase that two dollars (plus applicable sales taxes after discounts and rebates? I would also like to pint out that I made the purchase at a local Staples "brick and mortar" store rather than on-line. The sales personnel were incredible helpful. Not only did he spot me looking around and came over to ask for help but he also led me directly to the product grabbed the package and carried it back to my cart. With all the talk about an inability to compete with on-line I will definitely be returning to finish my selection and purchase of a shredder.
