We all use Sharpies and 4-mil plastic bags, I'm sure. Caveat emptor
on these items, however.

There are some Chinese Sharpie ripoffs on the market that look
stunningly like the genuine Sanford products. I bought a bunch of
them for a quarter apiece, and discovered the difference when I got
home. I called Sanford's customer service, and they asked me to
return the fakes; they will replace them with the genuine article.
These fake Sharpies probably don't have the permanence that we have
come to expect for the real thing, so it is inadvisable to use them
for permanent marking.

If you got ripped off by these items, call Sanford.

I bought a shipment of 4-mil plastic bags from Quill (best price and
great service) but discovered that they would not close. I called
Quill, and they were most cooperative. They sent a complete
replacement order.  So if you've just bought 4-mill bags, check them
out; there are some real dogs on the market.

Don't you just love this Pacific Rim business?
