kept my change!
I received a $20 gift certificate.
My purchase with tax was $17 and change.
After my transaction was complete the clerk did not return my certificate but kept it.
I thought maybe I had miscalculated the amount I spent. After leaving the store I checked my receipt.
I was so shocked I said nothing but I will never return to this store.

Perfect paper for everyday home office use!
This is the only paper I use in my office printers for daily printing. It's sturdy, has good color (brightness), not too think to make filing bulky, and is delivered to me so that I never run out. This really simplifies my office duties.

Great copy paper
I buy this paper often for every day printing. Paper is solid, good quality and printing is nice. I use mostly black/white printing, however colorful printing also looks fairly nice. If you're looking for a presentation style print then you may have to go with a different paper.

reams all opened
very disappointed with last delivery of a 10 ream case. When opening the box all reams were opened as if there was NO glue used to attached the wrappers on each ream. I took each ream out to store them and all were opened. This issue needs to be resolved.
