One common perception is that you can order office supplies from a large discount retailer such as Staples, and because they are so large they will offer you better prices on everything.The reality is that Staples does have better prices on some things. Their sale items are a big pull to get you there hoping you will buy other things that are perhaps...not such a good deal.
Here is a quick comparison of three different items. Two of the items have been compared here at different quantities so you can see how the larger quantity will increase the savings to you when you buy from Office1000. We are less expensive even for the lower quantity, but when you buy a larger quantity...watch how the savings just pile up!
