Reading Supplies - office supplies, reading supplies
I just wanted to clarify for prospective customers that this is a great value pack, especially for those who need it to use as place markers for books and such. However, before buying this, know this - the Value pack that Amazon ships you is not 280 page flags plus 48 arrows, BUT instead 200 page flags plus 48 arrows. I have notified and asked Amazon for a replacement and they still shipped me the wrong product, which means they don't have the product advertised. If you're okay with this, then it shouldn't be much of a hassle for you. Post-it Flags Value Pack, Assorted Colors, 280 Page Flags and 48 Arrows of 0.5 Inch per Pack (683-VAD1)
I just got my Post-it Flags pack in the mail and have used it already. I'm a book marker. When I come to a passage or a paragraph that I want to get back to I mark it with a highlighter or a post-it note. These post-its are the regular kind and also contain arrow markers which I like. Sometimes, I do not want to mark my books permanently and post-its are the way to go. In any case, if you're a book marker like me, I highly recommend this set of post-it notes.
Let's face it, the flags with the arrows are entirely useless. Unless you over-highlight, the flags with arrows on them are too large to be of any benefit (and if you do find them useful, perhaps you should change your highlighting habits). This product, still, is of infinite boon to the student.
Fast shipping from the seller, these flags are priced very decently. They could be better, because this is the same retail price you'd be paying for them at a grocer or bookstore, but the 40% markup is always annoying. This company could charge $1 less for this product (minimum, they could probably charge $3 less) and still make a profit.
PS: apply your flags to the top of your book! If you put them along the long side, you cannot put the book into a bookshelf! - Office Supplies - Markers - Post-its - Reading Supplies'
