If the prices of lumber keep rising who knows, I think they use some portion of wood to make paper so there's probably relation to lumber.

Lumber prices crashed last week.

wow... I didn't know these companies had the criminal minds to call 250-sheet as a "ream"

we the consumer than certain choose not to buy into such BS and ream it to these lousy companies.

what's next? 100-sheet ream? 10-sheet ream? Might as well start selling paper by the sheet or by weight?

You know what's next, it actually happened a while ago, a half gallon on Orange juice isn't a half gallon anymore it's like 60oz vs 64oz, and a pint of Haagen Daz ice cream, except it's not 16oz, it's like 14 or something.

This is a decent price for brand name paper, Walmart has generic reams for $3.47. I really can't tell if the "I didn't get 20 lbs of paper!" reviews are trolls or not (even if they are, if you have a Staples account you should really downvote them and upvote the negative reviews that actually talk about the product). Some also seem to indicate the listing was wrong (an entire case) in the past, but since that has been fixed they should delete those reviews too.

It's definitely a ripoff at the full $5 price.

I was curious as to what quick load paper meant. That's the reason it is 250 sheets. Fill up an entire tray on higher end printers.

This is a terrible deal. You can easily find reams for this price at Walmart. Maybe the quality isn't the same but I doubt there's a huge difference. The best deal that I found recently is paper at Costco that was around $30. It was 20lbs but much better than typical Hammermill or Staples 20lb paper. By the way, is it just me or is Hammermill 20lb the thinnest 20lb paper out there? Even no name Walmart brand paper was better quality than Hammermill. I don't get the hype around that brand.

You would not know it in the box stores and lumber yards.

Now$46 for 7/16 OSB at Lowes [lowes.com] that was $8, I doubt if lumber is ever going back to pre-covid prices.... manufacturing less for the same profits, the allowed wood monopolies/cartels are in control.

But they don't call it a half gallon or a pint (that's just imprinted in our brains), unlike this misadvertising,
