Paper, paper... who still uses paper? ME! I was known as the Paper Princess in my former employment. I have always been enamored with stationery and paper. Unfortunately, high-end paper and stationery retail brick and mortar companies are becoming harder and harder to find in the 2020 digital realm. My craft supply of wrapping paper in flat sheets is near diminished and I needed to cover an existing box similar to making a book cover. I like Paper Source as they also sell traditional blank folded cards in A2, A6 and A7 sizes where I can create my own greeting cards. I finally found all specifications of my desire as I was seeking handmade, flat wrap sheet (not roll), large size, and red floral of a magenta background.
Plum Blossom Handmade Paper $10.16
size: 19 inches X 25 inches
It was on sale for $10.16 rather than the usual online price of $11.95, wooho! The sale price lured my interest more to be a victim similar to " 'Will you walk into my parlour?' said the Spider to Fly by Mary Howitt. My order was shipped within one day upon ordering from their corporate website. It arrived safely in a cardboard mailing tube rolled and minimal dents on the ends during transit en route to my destination which is expected, but unfortunate.
This review is based on my experience with their website navigation, ordering, and order fulfillment. Ordering from Paper Source's web site, unlike most e-commerce sites, do not require a mandatory account to be created as I did not have to create a log-in username and password. Paper Source HQ is located in Forest Hill, IL. A week later, I wanted to re-order the same product and the price was revert back to the original $11.95 which I suspect price gouging is involved. read more
