Counterfeit Money A Direct Loss to Business

counterfeit-money-a-direct-loss-to-business

In these days of data breeches and identity theft, counterfeit fraud seems quaintly old-fashioned. It’s not. The U.S. Government estimates there are millions of  dollars of counterfeit bills in circulation. And unlike credit card fraud, there is no way for businesses to recoup the losses caused by counterfeit fraud. Continue reading

i-dropped-my-iphone-water-how-do-i-fix-my-phone Ever had to junk a really expensive phone because you got it wet? Who hasn’t?!! The internet swears a bag of rice will dry wet cell phones, but I know from personal experience that it is a lot of bunk ( rest in peace, 2006 HTC Touch).  A new product at OnTimeSupplies.com promises it is 7X more likely to fix cell phones dropped in water than the hit or miss rice trick.

“If you need a quality chair at an affordable price this might be the chair for you.”

basyx® VL601 Series Managerial Mid-Back Leather Chair I just wanted to write a quick review on this chair that I purchased over the internet. I am currently working in Afghanistan as a contractor and was in desperate need of a new chair for my office. The process to purchases this chair was easy and user friendly. It only took about a week to arrive and was very easy to put together, only taking maybe 15 minutes to do so and tools were included. The chair is very comfortable and seems to be pretty durable. The leather seems to be of a high quality and I am sure it will hold up quite well over here. My boss likes it so much that he is going to order one for himself as well. So if you need a quality chair at an affordable price this might be the chair for you.

“I have had this chair for going on 5 years now and I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase.” 

I have had this chair for going on 5 years now and I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase. The pieces were surprisingly simple to put together and the compact size of it fits well in my medium sized room. The chair is still as comfortable as when I first bought it however, on a down note, one of the arms has become loose, I have tried tightening the screw but I think the hole is rounded so it just keeps spinning without tightening. This started about a year ago. Other than that I have had no other problems with this chair. All of the features still work perfectly, the one thing I was originally worried about was quality of the leather and would it hold up over the years. My chair has been used very heavily and has endured 3 moves over the last 3 years and to date not a single hole, tear, or rip. What can I say, for the price it has exceeded my expectations.

All that & free shipping to boot! It’s easy to see why so many of our customers think the basyx® VL601 Series Managerial Mid-Back Leather Chair is the best leather office chair online!

Teachers review on Environmentally Friendly Dry Erase Markers

Your feedback matters at On Time Supplies. We read every review posted on the site, and are always really excited to hear what you think of our products and our service. Our customers are so thoughtful, and sometimes we get a great review we just have to share. Pilot Pen’s “BeGreen” environmentally friendly dry erase markers fly off the virtual shelves during school school months. And thanks to all the great reviews we get from teachers, we know why.

Teachers LOVE Pilot® BeGreen® Eco-Friendly Dry Erase Markers!

This is a great white board marker. It writes boldly without leaving residue after erasing. Also, it does not erase itself when you mark over the same place more than once like most white board markers do. So if you need to write in cursive on the board this is an excellent tool to use.
– ejkern01 from Louisville, KYI teach second grade and the kids use dry-erase markers all the time on their whiteboards. Someone’s marker is always going dry. It will be nice to have a refill handy and at a reasonable price. I love this product!
– Georgeanne from ILT

This Dry Erase Marker is one of the best markers I have used.
– klcraig from Oakfield, WI

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this marker was so green for the environment, I commend the thought of this marker! It has an ease of use and very durable casing. The fact that it has the replaceable parts makes this such an ease on money, the environment and use. Costs much less than expected and less waste after use. To me these markers should replace all other dry erase marker products.

Review of the day: save $200 on bulk price Pendaflex File Jackets.

Pendaflex File Jacket Review

We get so many thoughtful office supply reviews at On Time Supplies, I’ve started highlighting them on Office Ink. These reviews are totally unsolicited and come from real customers. I love to read all the comments, but I have to admit, my favorite are the ones that show how independent On Time Supplies offers better service, better deals and better selection than the big box chain stores. One of our North Carolina customers had just that experience when he discovered our discount bulk pricing on Pendaflex® Manila Reinforced File Jackets:

I saved $200 on File Jackets at On Time Supplies!

pendaflex-file-jackets These file jackets are identically made to a folder we used to get from one of the big box stores, only we saved almost $200.00 by ordering them from On Time Supplies. It took maybe one extra day to receive the folders, but that kind of savings on a cosmetically identical jacket made it worth the wait. The jackets are made of a thick, high quality stock and the tab at the top is doubled over and glued making them much more durable in our filing cabinets than some others we have tried. These are perfect for keeping all materials pertaining to an individual job together!
