I don't know what happened to the 2 boxes but every single ream's wrapper was torn and both boxes were badly damaged. I haven't begun using the paper yet so I'm hoping it wasn't damaged also. I'm not sure I would order it again.
When you go from "name brand" to store brand you usually see a distinct drop off in quality...even though such paper is usually made by a "name brand" company. So if you like to have a hard copy of diagrams graphics wiring or things that need some serious study and not some garbage of viewing on a screen then this paper will stack up to the best.
