Let me preface by saying I am a shipper on E-bay and have had to pack over four hundred packages for shipping, a necessity of which is the use of tape. This review goes for any form of Staples heavy duty tape you buy. I recently bought a roll of Staples brand heavy duty storage tape. Honestly, it's worth complaining about, this is quite frankly the worst roll of tape I have ever used in my life. Firstly, you charge more for packing tape then non-competitor hardware stores. I know a nationwide chain which sells a roll nearly twice the size for the same price. Secondly, the tape cutter edge is dull and takes more effort then usual to just cut the darn piece of tape. Thirdly, the tape is INCREDIBLY POOR QUALITY AND COMES APART CONSTANTLY! Throughout the entire use of the roll I had problems – you try and grab the tape to use it and only a sliver will rip off, making you waste 3-4 times what you wanted to simply trying to get a complete width of tape off the spindle. I cannot tell you the amount of frustration you have caused me in what should be a simple product for an office supply company to perfect. There is no reason a hardware store's variety is better than Staples, but apparently it is and they offer it cheaper to boot. Listen, it's pretty simple, if you make an inferior product and charge an arm and a leg for it, I have no reason to step into your store anymore. Your products represent the quality of your company, and quite frankly the quality of this tape was "####", so think of how that reflects upon your business. Nothing personal, it's just the truth. I don't have a receipt and I needed the tape otherwise I would have returned it hastily.
