Clips ahoy!... but no paper, yet.

[Buzz]

ordered paper deal from OD yesterday,



and paper clips came by UPS around lunch time...

10 min till end of their deliver between 8:30AM-5PM window on email confirm, and have seen a few OD truck locally already today, so should be here any minute..., but puzzling question is, why send 29¢ paper clips separate via UPS instead of just taping them to box of paper? doesn't seem terribly cost efficient...

Staples did the exact same thing when I ordered a hard drive. Makes no sense at all!
Clips via UPS, hard drive via Staples Delivery.

Paper and clips arrived at my office around noon - paper in one box and paper clips in another box roughly the same size - only shallower - with a wad of airbags.

OD driver must be lost... almost 6:30PM and still no paper...

according to yesterday afternoon's email;

also, packing slip that came w/ paper clips only shows 8 reams ordered, though online invoice and email properly show 10...
