Extra! Extra!



I am but the messenger, but make no mistake about it, Office Depot is in trouble. State governments such as Georgia, California, Florida, and Nebraska (click the newspaper on the right), have conducted in depth contract investigations and have discovered millions of dollars worth of contract discrepancies. In Georgia, Office Depot has lost the sate contract as a result. This news is based on government overcharges as business can conduct their own internal investigations. Besides the overcharges, the scrutiny alone has been expensive. These over-charges are not miscalculations, but rather intentional price manipulation for the purpose of profit. We understand that profits are essential to the health of any business, but when they are acquired via dubious practices, we have a right to call foul. The marketing budget of Office Depot seems bottomless. They acquire many customers strictly on name recognition alone. We are not ashamed to share this news. OfficeBundle.com may not be as big as Office Depot but we serve as a viable alternative for verifiable discount office supplies.

It seems a lot of big companies have made contract arrangements which are now resulting in financial difficulty. Even in recession there is room for prudent busines.
