"I have always liked the 5-ream pack-see GP Copy & Print Paper, 8.5 x 11 Inches Letter Size, 92 Bright White, 20 Lb, 5 Reams/Carton (2500 Sheets). I am extremely satisfied with this paper, the size of the box, the convenience, the packing (if you buy more than one box), basically everything! And, in all this time I have not had a "beat-up" box of paper delivered. Update: 8/27/2014 -- I have tried other deals on the 10-Ream Cartons GP Spectrum Premium Multi Use Paper, 8.5 x 11 Inches Letter Size, 92 Bright White, 10 Reams/Carton (5000 Sheets) that occasionally appear, but each time the office staff has asked that we go back to using this economical, very convenient and easy to handle 3-Ream Pack. Update: 2/18/2015 -- I tried GP Spectrum® 96 Multipurpose Paper at a good price."
"However, think hard about getting 24-pound paper as opposed to the more normal and cheaper 20-pound paper."
"I have purchased this paper twice; the first shipment was fully intact."
"It’s paper."
"This is one of the best copy paper for my needs."
"Well, the paper is good."
"This brand is okay to use."

"I like that they come as a set (or 2 to a package) because there are several places in the house where they are useful and can always be in reach, like my Study and the kitchen counter, which my husband thinks is his Study!"
"I think I will keep one pair with the wrapping paper, and the other pair to have at my desk."
"They have a comfortable grip and cut so smoothly too."
"Well, it's been three months and they work just fine, but I discovered the other day that the plastic covering the handle behind the hinge on the pair in the kitchen draw is broken. Updated, 3/12/17: My wife tried to trim some threads on the edge of an old dish towel this morning and the second pair of scissors broke into two pieces when the plastic holding the pivot screw snapped."
"Scissors broke in two pieces because the center pivot is plastic instead of metal."
"If you are a left-handed person you know how hard it is to find good comfortable left-handed pair of scissors that work properly. It was a simple plastic package, and without offering any resistance one of the blades simply came of, broken in two pieces."
"I was thrilled at first but soon realized the reason after receiving the product - it has been turned into a cheap product, much different from the original."

"Loved this dry erase board came in great condition and is perfect for a home office."
"Mounting plugs, screws and brackets included were easy to install."
"Great product."
"I received the product the very next day I ordered, in excellent condition."
"It does come with a Dry eraser and a marker but I would recommend buying a set of markers. Mine had a few bumps on it but not a deal breaker as they are not very visible or cause issues when you write on them."
"I slid the 18 inch marker tray to the right-hand side of the board so that it would not interfere with me opening my file cabinet drawer on the left-hand side of the board."
"I tried to hang it on the wall about 5.5 feet up from the ground and it fell receiving only a palm sized dent in a back corner that you can't notice from the front."

"Here is what the 72 count set of colors looks like... I only wish that I would have bought one of the larger count sets since I am always looking for additional colors. If you are having challenges with sharpening them there is a you tube video about it and how you should always turn the pencil, not the sharpener, in the same continuous direction. There were even explanations on how many you should put into an electric sharpener and then manually sharpen one because they overheat and break the leads!"
"* If you're not a professional artist but you want a set of amazing, great quality colored pencils for school, arts and crafts, coloring books, or any other project, I recommend purchasing a smaller set. * If you purchase the 48 or 60 color set and you want a color not in the set, Prismacolor Premier Soft Core Colored Pencils are also sold individually, so you can buy any additional colors you need."
"Having recently purchased a large set for my older daughter on Amazon, I can say with 100% confidence that this brand has declined STEEPLY in quality. Her new set came with SERIOUSLY off-centered leads, wooden shafts that are either cracked or completely different colors from one half to the other, and most concerning, the cores in many of the pencils seems to be waxier and clumps/flakes no matter what we do. I believe that many of the higher reviews for this product are from before the company began cutting corners...a search online will quickly reveal that cracked wood, broken leads, off-centered cores, and other issues have been present for several years now."

Scotch Sure Start Shipping Packaging Tape with Refillable Dispenser, 1.88 in x 38.2 yd (3450S-RD) (These are 38.2 yard on the larger roll - just less tape than the normal large roll)."
"Unlike other people let me start by saying that I bought this item at full price and received no compensation for writing this review.i do a lot of packaging and this tape is tough, I have gone thru several rolls and it did not tear on me and get stuck on the roll like other brands, when taping boxes it is tough and sticks well, each roll is ready to go on its own dispenser, a winner product ..."
"This is by far my favorite shipping tape for several reasons."
"And the tape roll has a white section banner which takes some time to unroll it off to start using the tape because the front of the white section is clear tape and hard to see to get it undone."
"It loses a star because the tape on the tape dispensers are not the largest role and I have gone through all 6 of them in 30 days."
"Also, the little cardboard box they come in is great - once the house becomes a mess during packing - find a central location where all tape, markers, stickers are a this way nothing gets lost."
"I'm a huge fan of high quality (= 3M brand, not the cheap knock-off no-name brand) packing tape. I got a 6 pack which, as pictured, came with the red holders."
"This tape is great, and the dispenser is not much larger than the roll of tape, which makes having it handy in a kitchen drawer for packaging up Amazon returns easy."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I want to preface this review by saying that I purchased the AmazonBasics 12-Sheet High Security Micro-Cut Paper/CD/Credit Card Shredder with Pullout Basket, and that thing is absolutely wonderful. If you have a bunch of shredding to do, consider the bigger shredder- AmazonBasics 12-Sheet High Security Micro-Cut Paper/CD/Credit Card Shredder with Pullout Basket."
"The items you run into the machine are diagonally cross cut instead of the straight line cutting (pictures attached). Anyone with time on their hands can sit down and place all of your straight line cut documents back together which is why I recommend you stick to the diagonally cross cut feature at the least - which this one offers. Micro-cutting is the ultimate feature to have. If you do happen to jam it or it slows down because you added to many pages at one time it does have a reverse switch."
"If you put more than 6 pages, the motor bogs down but will slowly chew through it- I've done that a few times where it just stopped. There is a safety switch on the back that only allows the shredder to work while in the supplied can (this prevents chopped fingers if you don't unplug it while cleaning the teeth out; BUT if you want to shred into a bigger container, you aren't able to.)."
"I bought this to shred some extra personal documents I had around the house and it works great."
"Pros. Chews through day to day mail and sensitive information or expired cards. Easy to empty and re-lubricate. Cons. This is for light home use, it is not intended for bulk jobs in one long session (it's labeled appropriately, and lives up to description). That society necessitates having a shredder at all."
"I have used this shredder to shred every piece of mail I have received or other important documents, on a regular basis and it worked awesome."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The lamp doesn't get in my daughter's way of any of her work, and she can adjust where the light goes. To use it, you have to hold the power button (it's off when it's red), and it will light up blue, with the other blue lights. The blue lights tell you how much brightness your lamp is on, and to turn it down, you just touch where you want the brightness to go."
"There's an array of LEDs in a line behind an opaque screen- there are no weird dark spots or faded areas and you can only really see them if you're making an effort to look up into the hood. It gives you at least 24" of reach over center from the base of the arm, and it won't fall over no matter how you position it, though it might lean if you get really creative about angles and elevation. The DC adapter is colored to go with it, and as a nice bonus touch, there's a USB port behind the stem for charging phones or other devices. You can shut the LED stem when not in use so it's just a vertical white stick, giving it a streamlined look; you can fold the base flat against the arm for easier storage. Improvements: Adding in a removeable filter might appeal to some people; making the base stickier so it won't flex or wiggle would be nice, too. Finally, the DC adapter really should be hidden slightly under the base, the exposed cord outlet is a bit against the otherwise aesthetically pleasing lines."
"excelent product."
"But the thing that always prevented me from buying one in the past was that you had to toggle through several different light modes every time you wanted to turn the damn thing on and off. This new light has a touch sensitive bar that allows you to easily turn the light on and off and move it to any brightness you want in a second without toggling through modes."

Find Best Price at Amazon"First, I expected a vintage journal, real leather coverings, old style paper to feel just like it was back in the old times. The back of one of the journals (I purchased two of them at the same time) had a number of scrapes (see the photo) but that totally didn't both me. The strap used to wrap around the Journal and close it up, just as soft and pliable as the rest of the journal's outer shells. There were five bundles of paper that were bound into the journal's spine. What I wasn't expecting and thought was just a design cover of the pens, in the product photos, was that it has the genuine leather wrapped around the pen body, as well. The writing is very smooth and I didn't have any times on my first page of journaling where the pen stopped writing, like if you were using a cheap pen and has to move your normal paper to get a better connection to the paper / ink transfer. I don't want to risk this product being out of stock or stopped production in the future and have to go with something completely different as the months / years go on of journaling. I tried to picture one of my journals as best as I could. Thanks to the suppliers that even emailed me before the journals arrived, just to make contact and provide an avenue to reach out, if I had any issues with the journal on arrival."

I printed out labels using a Brother P-Touch PT-2030 and the DYMO LabelManager 160 and these were the results of my findings: As of the time of this writing, the DYMO 1/2" D-1 label roll is selling for $14 and includes 23 feet (276 inches) of label. As of the time of this writing, the Brother 1/2" P-Touch label roll is selling for $11 and includes 26.2 feet (314 inches) of label. I printed two labels that had this text in 24pt BOLD "TEST-XX-01". The DYMO label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 2.75" in length which would allow 100 labels to be printed on a $14 roll. *** $0.14 per label. The Brother label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 4" in length which would allow 78 labels to be printed on the $11 roll. *** $0.14 per label. *** TIE ***. I printed two labels that had this text in 24pt BOLD "255.255.255.255". The DYMO label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 3.375" (3 3/8") in length which would allow 81 labels on $14 roll. *** $0.17 per label. The Brother label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 4.5" in length which would allow 69 labels on a $11 roll. *** $0.16 per label. *** BROTHER WINS ***. The DYMO would win with smaller labels, it seems that my first label tested is about the tie breaker in size. Bottom line: If you print SMALL labels, you will get more for your money using a DYMO label printer with less waste per label. If you print larger labels, you will get more for your money using a BROTHER label printer even though it waste more per label. The DYMO generally prints more labels per roll than the brother, even though there is less label per cart, however the Brother label is cheaper at this time."
"It's the perfect size. It prints super clear. It has a button for clip art designs and pictures! It can write multiple lines on a single strip! Just grab this and a 2 pack of 23 foot long rolls and you'll love the thing! The tape cutter is very smooth and comes out from the top instead of the sides like other label makers!"
"I love labeling things and was so happy to receive this label maker."
"This is the only new Dymo labeler I could find that used that same cartridge, so I bought it and it's actually pretty cool! And you print right from the computer!"

"I bought another a few years ago when I was designing the floorplan for the cabin I will build in a year or so. My dye notebooks have many small squares of fabric I dyed twenty years ago."
"Pages are big to hold a lot of stuff (my lab partners are constantly having to flip to next page because they got a tiny book.)."
"I use this notebook in my AP Physics class, and I like that it it all graph paper so that I'm able to easily draw diagrams or calculate equations."
"And the binding is more or less glued for about a half inch of each page--which means you will NOT be laying this notebook flat in any universe!"

"This is a great little appointment book."
"The calendar is 2 pages/wk, providing a quick snapshot of the upcoming week, and it includes a notepad. There's even a quick reference section in the back with some websites that you may like for travel, keyboard shortcuts, how to perform CPR (what an odd thing to have in a planner), a time zone map and a list of area codes."

"It has a non-ruled notepad on the left cover for taking notes or drawing diagrams, and a 1-year weekly calendar on the right, which opens to show 3 days on each page."
"it includes a notepad for groceries or reminders in the front, but if that makes the book too bulky you can remove it."

"A copywriter for the past 36 years, we tend to scribble notes down on anything from cocktail napkins to match book covers.These pads have served me well for decades, they're perfect for jotting down notes and ideas - sometimes good old paper and pencil trumps the computer."
"I was concerned about the quality since other Amazon listings had products that were much more expensive and with fewer pads."
"Bought for work."
"I will use these pads to take minutes of meetings, notes and other items to formalize later as well as notes of an informal nature, to myself and others."
"In looking over so many types and options online, this set of legal pads works fine."
"This may just be a matter of personal preference, but I don't like the pad to bend when I'm holding or carrying it."
"Paper is thin and cardboard backing is relatively flimsily."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I have 2 kids going into 7th and 9th grade and they need "giant" binders because every teacher wants them to have a tabbed section for their class. Last year, my sons' binders had metal rings but the tabs were plastic, so, of course, they broke. This notebook also has a nice handle along the spine, as well as a long, adjustable strap, for carrying the binder, if you don't want to put it in your backpack. But they didn't work as well for school packs because its the base/bottom size that is more important for carrying books (as opposed to camping, hiking, etc.). Over Winter Break we will go through it and file away things he doesn't think he needs anymore in his desk, so he has room to "jam pack" it during the second semester. UPDATE: January 2015: My younger son is using his same binder from last year and we are through the 1st semester and it's still going strong! My younger son used his 1st one for 1.5 school years and then something happened to the rings (which might have been his fault - I'm still skeptical), so I bought him a new one. Since this initial purchase, I have bought this brand from Amazon in various sizes, depending on my kids' needs, and they are all equally durable. Thank you Case It for finally making a durable binder in a variety of colors and sizes!"
"Also, as a ten-year-old boy, he is rough on things; book bags and other binders he has used usually have holes in them halfway through the school year, but this one is not torn, scruffed or anything - It is still in great shape; the material is solid."
"I'm bad at measurements, so sadly it was much too large for my son's backpack lol."
"The main part is fine, but stuff could fall out of this slot so he cannot use it anymore."
"It has room for all six of my subjects in the file area and the big rings obviously can hold a lot."
"I bought two of these for my 12-year-old, middle school, twin boys."
"I love the storage pockets, folder space, and the strap so I can carry it like a messenger bag."
"My sons school had provided these for the students at the beginning of the year."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I was, previously, purchasing CMS 1500 forms from the large Medical related supply vendors and the forms never printed consistantly ~ I would have to constantly adjust my printer to populate the fields correctly (always off center, too high, too low); some payers would even misread the alphanumeric fields because of the way the font would misalign in the field."
"A medical billing must have."
"Good quality printing and paper."
"Been using these forms for years."

"Here is what the 72 count set of colors looks like... I only wish that I would have bought one of the larger count sets since I am always looking for additional colors. If you are having challenges with sharpening them there is a you tube video about it and how you should always turn the pencil, not the sharpener, in the same continuous direction. There were even explanations on how many you should put into an electric sharpener and then manually sharpen one because they overheat and break the leads!"
"* If you're not a professional artist but you want a set of amazing, great quality colored pencils for school, arts and crafts, coloring books, or any other project, I recommend purchasing a smaller set. * If you purchase the 48 or 60 color set and you want a color not in the set, Prismacolor Premier Soft Core Colored Pencils are also sold individually, so you can buy any additional colors you need."
"Having recently purchased a large set for my older daughter on Amazon, I can say with 100% confidence that this brand has declined STEEPLY in quality. Her new set came with SERIOUSLY off-centered leads, wooden shafts that are either cracked or completely different colors from one half to the other, and most concerning, the cores in many of the pencils seems to be waxier and clumps/flakes no matter what we do. I believe that many of the higher reviews for this product are from before the company began cutting corners...a search online will quickly reveal that cracked wood, broken leads, off-centered cores, and other issues have been present for several years now."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've never had the need to use correction tape until now."
"This correction tape is incredible useful and great."
"My only gripe is that you have to make 100% sure that you press down and evenly or you do get some corrector that doesn't detach from the ribbon appropriately, and then you have to go back and redo the line (not that that doesn't happen to must correction tapes)."
"THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING!!!"
"It's not annoying to use like other brands and it's nice and simple."
"Everything else is great about it, but to compare to other products like BIC's, it's the fact that it doesn't tear when written on or when the tape is overlapping other tape."
"This is seriously good correction tap: 1) Rolls evenly and without breakage. 2) Perfect, 100% coverage of underlying text (no bleed through). 3) Solidly made enclosure that doesn't break or flex while being used. 4) The applicator tip (or whatever it's called) has the perfect amount of flex to roll easily over various types of paper. Overall this is the best I've ever used and annihilates the branded stuff from office supply stores."
"Have to say, I'm really surprised by all the good reviews because the way this correction tape holder is designed does not work for me at all."
