Not long ago, I joined one of the local Chamber of Commerce and one of the benefits, 20% off retail at a big box office supply store. That sounds very good and definitely has the reason for my membership. Later I learned that the project actually small businesses save an average of 15-20% of their expenditure in this office have determined the office, would help computers and office furniture store.
In fact, when I asked her how I got my rebate from the Chamber of Commerce, they sent me to a site with the company, Office Depot signed. Shortly thereafter I received an email from them that the organization would like an appointment to look at my sales office supply needs. Hey wait a minute, I want my rebate, I will not meet with a salesperson.
Of course, like most small businesses buy some of my office supplies from Office Depot, or rather, I have. Last year I bought two laptops, $ 500 + software and various other things like cabinets and supplies. Yes, she talked about me in a card that I have learned to fill the rates only later that I did not get any credit for the purchase of computers or computer software. Apparently unbeknownst to me, can no longer be made for computer or computer software, so I am SOL on this.
