    No I don't work there or own stock in the company but I thought I'd just post what I bought at a reasonable price!

    Don't be cuz during the summer OFFICE MAX had a major error in their Sunday ad. My cousin was able to pick up (4) VERBATIM 50 pack spindles of DVD media at $10.99 each because of the ad error. She made them give it to her at that cost and got away with it. The store manager quickly made a huge ass sign saying there was a error in their ad for the VERBATIM dvd/cd media.

    I hate OFFICE MAX and don't even bother going there since they no longer match prices with any other stores. Plus they jack the prices of VERBATIM DVD media by $5.00-$10.00 more per spindle here in Hawaii when it's on sale for the rest of the USA.

    I thought everything cost more in Hawaii because of shipping.
    I just bought a executive chair at Office Max for $40 and I'm sitting in it right now burning a DVD...life is good.

    Because of additional taxes on CD-Rs in Canada, they cost more than DVD blanks, so yeah, I would buy 100 CD-Rs for $25.00!

    Yuh unfortunately some items will cost more because of shipping. But when you have a national ad from like BEST BUY which sells VERBATIM dvd media here in Hawaii, they don't price gouge/jack up the price just because we're in Hawaii. Where as OFFICE MAX does jack up the prices on their VERBATIM dvd media when it's on their sales ads that are on the national level. That's why I have a beef w/OFFICE MAX. As I mentioned I don't even go into their stores to buy anything since they don't even match price any other stores.

    Skip them altogether and get a Sam's Club Membership.
    100 packs of DVD-R or +R Verbatims are ALWAYS $26.98,
    and some locations stock the 50 packs which are ALWAYS
    $12.98. Don't buy from their website, the Prices are higher than in-store.

    Sam's is what? $50 per year? I've always found the notion of paying for the privilege of shopping to be a scam. I guess it's good if it's close and you've got a family. They do have a lot of groceries and household items. I use those "free weekend" coupons that Sam's and Costco send out from time to time, maybe buy a book or DVD, but that's about it.

    Aren't they also highly unreliable on the brand and stock they carry? Verbatim may be sold now, but in a couple of months, that could change. It's more volatile than a normal chain outlet.

    Saturday, I was driving on the highway, looked over, and saw an Office Max and remembered the sale. I drove up almost to the front door, walked in, asked the guys where the blanks were, was shown, bought the -R cake, and left. I swear I wasn't in Office Max any more than 45 seconds.
    It was cool...and made in Taiwan.

    Believe it or not, I saw the same deal online shipped for $20...you can too.

    For me it was maybe five minutes from entering the store to checking out.
    The salesperson even carried the chair to my car,now that's customer service!
