STAPLES IN OKC "Thunder" Territory.

OK! thank you for the opportunity to respond! I have been a loyal customer of Staples for MANY years. I was one of the first customers through the door when the Staples on SW 74th (I-240) in Oklahoma City opened several years ago. Mr. John Huerbers (I regret if I mispelled his name) has been the Manager that entire time. Anyway most of the above noted time the Tech support has been fantastic and I really do appreciate that! I am not one of your 'biggest' customers in terms of the amount that I have purchased but I do love to visit ANY Staples but of course the above noted store is closest to my home. Your largest competitor at least in OKC and especially on the South side of OKC was in place quite awhile before the SW 74th Store opened but over the years Staples in nearly all respects is superior to that particular competitor! I did note The OKC Thunder in my Review Headline but I feel compelled to tell you that prior to the establishment of The OKC Thunder that for most of my life all in Oklahoma - except for my U.S. Military Service during the Vietnam War - I was a fan of The Boston Celtics especially during the Red Auerbach era!
The paper is paper nothing much to say about it. Whenever they offer free paper I take advantage of it. With premier pricing the rebate actually exceeds the price paid.
How can you beat this. Staples gave away 5 reams of their brand of copy paper. ( After paying for it and after rebates) My mother always told me " If someone is giving away something free you take it even if you can't use it." Well in this case I can use it. As far as the quality of the paper I used it and my Hammermil paper for comparison. I printed the same page with both brand papers. I could not tell the differance between the two. The pages looked identical...And it was free.
It's white copy paper. Why pay for a name brand? It takes ink well no jams and best of all no lint left behind to dust my desk or coat the inside of my printer. The 5-ream case is on sale frequently and is a good deal. However when the rebate is offered it becomes a great deal! The best deals are offered to Staples Rewards cardholders via email specials. As an example this Staples copy paper 5-ream case has been offered for FREE after rebate so my net out of pocket cost(after rebate) is my local sales tax! What a deal!
The paper was of good weight brightness was excellent. The paper with the discount was an excellent purchase. I appreciated the value at tax time when we use a lot of paper. The gift card for the rebate will be used on the next 5 ream special. The amount of paper for the $2.00 investment is hard too beat. I feel the company runs this promotion often enough that we pay very little for our paper at Staples. I plan to use the excellent paper to produce a DVD booklet with all our movies listed so they can be placed in a book.
