Not Tax- copy paper

[grandmabee]

Where does everyone get their copy paper?  i used to do Costco and it was 32.00 10 ream case.

I like the 96 bright white 20 lb.

Most places are now selling 8 reams to a case and think we don't notice.

[ILLMAS]

Sams club for me, I’ll count the reams next time.

I got 2 bxs of Office Depot 94 bright 8 reams per case for $26 per case recently.

I guess I am getting feeble and decrepit, my back really likes the 8 ream cases due to the lighter weight

I get the Boise X-9 "Splox box" 20-lb, 92-brightness, which is a half-case of paper in ONE box with NO separate reams.  I can pick up a half-case without help, and not having to rip the paper wrappings of reams is nice, too.  None of my printers will take a full ream, so that inner wrapping is a detriment rather than a benefit.

Got a 10-ream case of Hammermill Plus from Staples last week for $36 delivered to my door.

Office Depot currently has 8 ream cases of 94 bright paper for $ 24.99

I've had good luck with Staples delivered, but the last three cases I got were pre-pandemic.  Haven't seen any under $30 anyplace.

I use Quill (owned by Staples now).  Delivered, 10 reams a case, 92 bright, last case $29, March 10.  It's their 'Quill' brand and I pay an annual fee to be in their 'club'.  I'm not sure if that's a bargain or not.  Supposedly special prices.  Ha.

I was very fortunate to buy 20 boxes on a damaged pallet this past summer from a client that was purchasing pallets for resale.  Most of the boxes are slightly damaged.  The paper was fine.  Worked out to be 20 bucks a box.  Can't beat that!

Office Depot sometimes has sales.  I've also found 10-ream cases of "Pen&Gear", 92 bright, at Walmart for under $30.  Quality seems okay, but who knows how long it will hold up.

I've gone paperless with 75% of my clients.  I upload everything to the portal and have them sign electronically.  I then provide them with a completed copy of the approved eFiled return for their records.  I hope to increase this number overtime but there will always be some clients who prefer paper copies.    

[Margaret CPA in OH]

I, too, have gone mostly paperless a few years ago.  When clients bring or mail documents, I scan and return but have been fortunate that perhaps 60% have been able to navigate the portal and upload at least everything they have in pdf.  And I upload the client copies of the returns and encourage them to print or save.  But, with several folks of a certain age in years or technology education or equipment, I do still have some number that want that printed copy.  Just so glad to have a lot less nowadays!

20 boxes of paper would last me about 10 years.

[Randall]

I give the client paper.

Just saw a Staples ad for Hammermill 10 reams $29.99

If you go to Staples the back of the receipt normally has a $10 off coupon on your next in store visit.   Go get 1 case of paper, get the receipt, put the paper in your car, come back into the store and buy another case for $10 less.

I won't say how I know this, but I know this works....

Hey, there's no reason not to use their own rules to your advantage.

I used to hit Staple's back-to-school sales for my tax folders at $0.05 each. We'd go after Sunday brunch when both kids were with us, each grab the maximum (25ish) in my color of the year, and check-out in four different lines. I'd add some fatter vinyl folders in my stack, and be set for the next tax season. I think hubby got a teachers' discount by showing his union card, also.
