This ream paper is a good value. I like having paper on hand so I'm not running out while doing a large project or mailers. Yes mailers are sometimes better then an email.
The technique of mail in rebates is not customer friendly. One waits 6-8 weeks or more for the refund and wastes time putting the mail-off details together. I will not buy such a deal in the future. Rather; STAPLES should price their products at sale to avoid this nonsense. As for the product itself the printer picks up several blank sheets from time to time which have to be recycled...The item above is worth just a little above what was paid without the rebate I would say around $2.00 per ream. Sorry if I ruined your day.
