My Staple Purchase from Staples
on February 8, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
This is one of several items I repeatedly buy at Staples and usually wait for the sale like the Buy 2 get 1 Free that is frequently offered. My #1 reason is that the 96 White quality of the paper makes it great for the documents I submit to my clients. It doesn't look yellow or off-white. Other reasons are: the paper is "white" against the "white" Avery Tabs (also purchased at Staples) I use with the documents; and when I have the documents copied at Staples using their "standard paper" the paper matches so my documents don't have varying paper types. Additionally it is good enough quality that it works well in my printers and my copier without jamming. Over the years I have had difficulty maintaining a supply of "white" white paper that is reasonably/competitively priced. As soon as I find what I like it is no longer available. I hope this paper stays around for a while longer.
I have no problem with the paper. My complaint is with the rebate that I was supposed to receive for the purchase of it. I responded to the Staples E-mail and ordered it only to have major problems with getting the rebate taken care of even though I did everything exactly the way I was supposed to. The actual paper is an excellent buy and I have always had good success with Staples if there ever was a problem. I trust this will be true this time as well.
I don't usually think much about the paper we use in the printer/copier - until something goes wrong. This paper does not ever 'go wrong'. It doesn't get jammed and turn into an accordian; it doesn't get 'electrified' and stick together causing multiple pieces to run through at the same time; it doesn't get all torn up when it goes through the automatic stapler. The ink dries nicely on it whatever the color and whatever we are printing - even full page color photographs. And it is a nice bright white. No complaints here!
Paper arrived promptly and the box was split. Contents appeared to be ok. Applied for the 37.00 EZ rebate and it was denied. So the box of paper was returned !!!! I had to carry it back into the store..........
