12-pk Pental EnerGize Automatic Mechanical Pencil (black) $2.50, 12-pk Uni-ball Gel Grip Rollerball Stick Pen (blue) $1.80 + Free Shipping

Quote from Foreveryours : FWIW, it's called Pentels.

Quote from jackbauer24 : both name brand and knock off are made in china anyway; if it's chinese KO, then i just return them at staples, since shipping is free.

These pencils seem suspect. Although the Staples page identifies them as Pentals, the name on the pencil barrel in the staples pic states Pentel.

Searching further on Amazon, the same pencil is displayed in their product pic, with Pentel stamped on the pencil barrel along with the model number PL75A identified.

I guess we’ll find out once we get them if this is either a spelling error or product mismatch on Staples website.

All I get is page not found when I hit submit order.

In for a dozen of each pencil.

Lets see what we get!

Thanks for the post. Will be happy if they ship a dozen but it's ok if it is just one.

I purchased several 2 packs at OD yesterday and they were 8.69 for the 2 pack. They were 100% back in rewards. These are great pencils. My grandson guards his with his life and that's the only one he likes. Poor guy he only had one of them so he was really excited to see a bunch of them coming his way. They were the QE517 but had a different number after the 517 which is probably color and how many are in the pack. You can see alot of them on the OD website. I'm jumping on this too as you can never have too many pencils with high school boys. I did purchase the QE517 twist and purchased extra erasers too. The 100% rewards for OD is over but they have reduced the price for the pencils this week. Too bad they are probably OS now !

What is everyone smokin tonight?-- why the hell would Staples sell knock offs?

Cuz it's cheaper and they can.

Purchased 0.7 and 0.5 twist off thanks!!!

Keep getting page not found after hitting submit order. I have tried probably on three different occasions since 6pm. No pencils tonight

The email confirmation says Pentel.

I doubt there will be order cancelations. I'm quite sure Staples will just send us 1 instead of 12 and leave it up to us to keep them, or return them.

But maybe we'll get a few free pencils out of the deal if we complain about having to use our own time and gas for a return at the store.

A box of twelve of the Twist-Erase 0.7mm pencils is labelled QE517A-12 on Amazon, whereas the Staples site lists the model as QE517A. Most likely going to receive a single pencil.

Pental® EnerGize .5mm is out of stock, but the .7mm is currently in stock at the same price. I prefer the .7 anyway!
