if you have an internet account keep hush about it, as they try to get you to order from the net.

I agree with that Cat72.When I spoke to the lady she asked for my account number and said that our account was an internet one so why didn't I make my order online?I pointed out that the code for the paper wasn't accepted when I tried to order online and she said thats because its a over the phone code only.I said I know thats why i'm calling...:D

I think within the CTN trade a ream is a bundle of 25 and this may cause confusion.

My question is ...what do I do with my 5000 sheets of fine quality copy paper??!!!

YOu could always give some to a local charity. I'm sure they could use it. Or may be a nursery or a school.

Well impressed with Viking - ordered mine on Thursday afternoon and it was delivered today.

10 reams - 5000 pages and a cd boom box which im sure my son will like for 4.40 delivered

it was easy to order as I used my business account, which i hadnt used until now....so i guess it helped as it gave them the opportunity to send me their catalogue

I've tried to order twice now, with 2 different people, and I've been told paper is only available to existing customers. Looks like the game's over.

I was quoted 90p a ream and they wouldn't budge so I accepted it as it is still cheaper than what I would normally pay (see what gets invoiced). Maybe its because I am business user or have they cottoned on? Anyway need the paper so see what its like.

Ordered the cellotape and CD player. Also they waived the delivery and asked if I wanted a 16" desk fan for £9. I was about to order one of these and the price seemed cheap so bagged this too.

Am pretty happy with what I have ordered, will report back when it arrives.

Wow order arrived and it was 9 pence a ream total price 90pence!!! Paper quality not the best but perfectly acceptable for my needs. CD player went down well with my Son. Desk fan was £19.49 not £9 and was floor standing. No good to me so rang up to return. Very nice customer services lady made it very easy to send back.

Now do you think I can order the paper again? Maybe this time I will go for the shortbread.
