"Invalid Item No."

I knew I should have got them early this morning. I wanted to make sure I wouldn't have to pay tax on the real price. When did everyone else place their orders?

staples has bad reputation for charing people full price when
they "think" people are using wrong coupons or what so ever.
i had 3 experiences with staples, all were using %50 off $100
coupons and got charged full prices when delievered, NOTE: only when delievered, you can know the real charge, the online order histrory is gargage. so look at the slip on the package then you know
you have been fooled by staples.

yeah!!! this time i am lucky, since when i check the order status,
it says: We're sorry, the Order Number and ZIP Code combination was not found in our system.Please check the Order Number and ZIP code for your order and try again.
ok, this must mean they cancelled my order, they are not going to
charge me full price!!!

Hey all,
I just got my order of 15 (item #436153). Total was $8.11 including s/h + tax. That makes each bag $0.54. Wooohoo!!! The bags are essentially junk but for $0.54 you can't complain!

I just got my case!

It's nice. Very strong and sturdy, nice material. It has twin locking clasps for a front area that folds out that hides a bunch of nice netted pockets and also some zipper pockets. Inside the main case is the shoulder strap. Not much else to say, but it's nice! Also the interior is the same water protected type of stuff you find in normal backpacks nowadays. It's a little smaller than I would have liked but for the price who cares. It's nice for taking on in-town business meetings.

And my invoice was 7.96 total.

They are pretty damn nice! I got 50 of them today! They actually came. My total was: $.54 (Including tax). I got free shipping also! This is the best deal I have seen yet! I wanted to order even more, but the item number is no longer valid. I should have went for 100 or more! :)

At least you guys are getting cancellation notices. I sent
in my order and never got an email confirmation of any type.
My experience tells me this means it was cancelled.

I don't mind it being cancelled, but it's really unprofessional
to cancel without sending out a notice to that effect.

Wouldn't be the first time Staples has done that to me.
