Bulk Notepads and Notebooks

Once I found these notebooks with this company I ordered them because I already had one and loved it and couldn’t find it in the stores anymore there was a problem with the shipping that had nothing to do with the company but with the shipper due to the pandemic and the company caught the issue an email with me back-and-forth until the issue was absolutely resolved to my satisfaction and I was very grateful for it. Class act this company I will order from them again for sure!!!

Just what I ordered. It was a relief to find this item at a more reasonable price than other suppliers offered.

Really good quality and terrific price..the service was outstanding.

The product arrived with a day of ordering and was just as described. Very pleased with the service and the product.

I have recently rediscovered these after using composition notebooks for decades. Not many places where I live carry these now. I use them for various personal projects I tend to save for years. PROS: I like the stiff covers: they tend to last a lot longer (I've been using one as a budget book for three years!); they fold back much better than cheaper wire bounds from big box stores; the paper is heavier than most spirals and composition notebooks; and the lines are much darker and able to see when writing in low light (taking notes in an auditorium setting). The price was quite decent as well. The speed of shipping was phenomenal. CONS: I'm not too happy that I cannot select the colors I want. I miss the yellow ones! Now, I'm sure OTS does not have control over the shipper. Apparently National Brand is shipped from a centrally located warehouse (Dallas, Tx in my area) which covers multiple vendors (I'm guessing). But OTS should know the shipper's packing leaves a lot to be desired: the box is too big and not very sturdy (tendency to get crushed); the poor packing does not keep the product from flopping about in the box leaving the notebooks open to bending and creasing of the covers. Although I ordered only 5 notebooks, I think packaging could have been a lot tighter! The notebooks themselves could have been banded together but they were all loose in the box. A sturdier box a quarter of the size would have been more appropriate. Overall, I like these notebooks and will continue to buy them, if only the warehouse would just do a better job of packaging. So my 5-star rating goes to the product, not the shipper (who would rate barely a one in my book). As for a shopping experience with OTS, it was quite pleasant. Many thanks for that!
