Michael C asked:


Having purchased a heavily discounted HP laptop at an office supply store, I didn’t notice that there were two white spots on the LCD display. One is more noticeable than the other. Can I fix this problem myself without returning the laptop? I didn’t buy the store’s warranty and am hoping to avoid them completely.

Carianne asked:


I have hundreds of pictures that need to be stored, and I think I’d just have way too many albums if I went that route. I think a photo box(es) would be the best for space saving, but how do I record where I was, etc on them? Is my only option writing on the back of every picture? Or can I use tabbed notecards purchased at an office supply store - not “acid free”, I’m assuming… Thanks -

Julie asked:


Ok so my office supplies styrofoam cups, plastic forks, spoons and knifes..
I have aske the purchasing dept. to think about cutting all these waste full things out.. They all look at me like they are crazy..
Do they not see how much $$ it would save (company’s perspective)
Do they not see all the waste we create??
I did suggest we all bring in our own coffee cups, water cups, and utensils for eatting..
They just don’t get it??
Any suggestions?? How to cut out some of this waste we create just in the kitchen @ work??

endefr asked:


If a company purchases office supplies, should it
(a) debit supply expense and credit cash or
(b) debit office supplies (an asset account) and credit cash?
Does the value of the supplies matter? (materiality)?

Hi, My names John and i am thinking of starting an office supplies company (business to business),

Now we would sell the office supplies over the telephone and face to face, all i want to know is does anyone think that this is a good idead? (businesses alwaya need supplies, Ink & toner, paper, staples etc etc etc),

Now please think about your answers before you just start typing away, as someone called SEWRROBB has severley pissed me off, telling me i will not make any profit,

Now heres come examples for you to base your answers on,

at first we will be working from a huge annex at the end of a garden which already has telephone lines and broadband installed (as it once used to be an office for an internet dating site or something)we will have to pay no rent as it is family,

we already have suffcient amount of computers, printers, and furniture,

We would cold call every type of company in the UK no matter how big or small, and attempt to sell them office supplies (which i have done before at another company and was on a 2,500 profit target a week)

Here are some general examples of the amount of profit we can make from one phone call,

i recently rang a small day nursery in scotland, she said she had an epson printer, i sai ok how much do you pay? she said £12.99 per cartridge from staples…

ok (now we get the same cartridges for around 60-70 pence) so i said ok if you take say 5 full sets of cartridges i can beat the price your paying at the moment and do them for £8.99, so i made well over £8 profit on each cartridge!! x that by 20 and thats £160 profit on 5 minutes, i package the goods (2 minutes) and then send them via royal mail so about £1.69,

and thats for 10 minutes work, do that 6 or 7 times a day and well you can work out the profit
then if i hired say 10 sales rep’s on £187.50 basic wage a week, and they sold that much that would make sooo much money, even if i paid the reps 10% commission on top of there wages!!!
Thank you someone finally with some sense!!
thanks!
yes we do not tend to sell packagin though!, andmost stuff like pinter paper and stationery go diret to our customer under plain label from our supplier so no storage space needed
