if you have had a chance to check it out in person already, then online should be fine, but as rzbina noted, watch out for shipping costs. i'm a paper snob, so it's important to me to see it and feel it before buying, so i shop in the stores mostly.
I 100% recommend www.paperandmore.com. They are GREAT. You can get as many samples as you'd like, for a nominal cost and very cheap shipping. The Customer Service is great and I had my paper within a few days of ordering. They had the best prices for what I was looking for.
i'm looking for some nice thick brown paper for my programs and escort cards.
is it generally better/cheaper to buy online with shipping costs, or to find a good paper store locally??
i live in chicago, if anyone has recommendations for a good, cheap paper store too...
posted by vee 3 months agoTry Cut Cardstock I got stuff there and it's cheap, and really really good. The same name brands just cheaper then everywhere else.
Also, for a wee bit more you can hit:
Cards and Pockets
I bought all my stuff online, saved a bundle and wouldn't do it differently if I had to.

posted by vee 3 months agoIf you can find it in the store, I think that's usually better-- shipping costs kill me, and then don't even think about making returns.
That said, if you can't find anything in store, I used Chocolate Cover from their signature collection at Paper-source.com
