I have a home office and do not go through a lot of paper. I find this 5 ream case easy to carry and at good price. This is the 3rd time I have purchased it.
I have bought 4 packages in a few weeks. One ream was bent and one was completely wrinkled. I returned it and they were nice enough to give me a new ream. Is the price worth it if packaging is plastic and will not protect the paper.
To me paper is paper. However I want my white paper to be uniformly white. I do no want my paper to jam my printer. It must be sharply cut on the edges. I do not want to shop all over town looking for the paper I am always in a hurry and want to go to the store purchase it and get on my way. I like this paper because it is packed in a 5 ream case which is easy to load in the shopping cart in/out of my car and up the stairs to my home office. The price is right and the friendly folks at my staples store always keeps this item in the same spot so I don't have to go on a "witch hunt" to find it.
I use a fair amount of paper and really appreciate the quality of Staples' 5 ream case. It keeps me going without the storage problem for me of the 10 ream case. And the price can't be beat.
