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.
This is my go-to choice for every day printing. I'm an avid knitting pattern collector so I use a lot of paper and ink. This paper stands up to a moderate/heavy amount of use so it's a good value for a heavy printer user. Although if you print pictures~ the ink does tend to warp the paper slightly. I advise setting the newly printed picture aside for a few minutes to dry completely. After drying the picture printed is fine.
