I've been looking for photo paper on line. Figured it would be cheaper than the stores like "Office Depot" or "Staples". I was looking for HP 8X10 Premium Plus non glossy 50 pack photo paper. The only store I can find was "Tiger Direct Business". Anyone heard of them. They wanted $22.99 for the pack. I remember buying it many years ago from " Office Depot" & I believe it was much more money even on sale. Thanks ahead for your imput.

If you want high quality photo paper, check out Red River Paper online. At the last sale I bought 42lb Picos River Gloss for $19.99 per box of 100 in 8.5 x 11 with free shipping for orders over $150. Best of luck.

Tiger Direct --so far as I'm concerned, having purchased computer/electronic components and such-like related products from them for many years-- is one of the better (or best) on-line sellers of that sort of thing. Can't say I've ever heard of Tiger Direct 'Business' per se, but since like many such companies, and without investigating further, I'd suspect that what you accessed was the 'business' side <i.e., high volume, business tax number, etc. status> that 'Tiger Direct' likewise caters to, slightly apart from, but nevertheless alongside with, their regular 'consumer' side.

For my money, Tiger Direct is not only 100% reputable, but is likewise on par with and competitively structured alongside countless other similar retailers, including B&H, NewEgg, and others.

You might want to Google Tiger Direct (directly) and see if the price is the same as that which you quoted. If so, what you found initially can very much be trusted.

I used to build computers and for years bought most of the components from Tiger Direct. Never a problem and always got exactly what I ordered.
You might want to check out Red River also.

I bought several things from Tiger Direct in 1996 and 1998, but I don't have a record of what they were - $100 range. Of course, 1998 is ancient times. The company has probably been sold half a dozen times since then.

You may think I'm crazy or maybe just cheap, but I have found tons of photo paper at Goodwill and ARC. And yes some have been 5 star. Kodak, Epson, Office Depot, HP, etc. Mostly 8x10 and 4x6.

Do you have a Best Buy store handy? I buy Canon papers (for Canon printers), and I've found their 8.5 x 11 papers to be cheaper than anywhere else. I haven't bought any for awhile, and prices do change. But you might check them out.

For a generic photo paper, Costco’s Kirkland brand is decent
