There’s nothing worse than putting a great presentation together, then going to print it out and getting that deadly message Out of Toner. Another classic scenario is that you go to copy it and find that you’re all out of copy paper. Hopefully, you’re audience doesn’t mind sharing. The point is this: You can’t underestimate the importance of having office supplies in-stock and available. From toner to copy paper, there are tons of basic supplies that play a role in keeping the modern office up and running. However, it can be a real pain to go to the store and lug around all of the supplies you might need. That’s why online ordering of these supplies has become so popular. A great example of this is Supplies USA.

Supplies USA is easy to use with a simple to navigate user interface. There are a multitude of well-known vendors such as 3M and Kodak to choose from, as well as a free form search to enter specific queries. In addition, there is a list of non-vendor specific categories on the left hand side such as “Printer Supplies”. It may seem simple, but that’s the point. These three search functions encompass all that you might need to find what you’re looking for without having to browse through tons and tons of flashy menus.

The selection on this site is also pretty good and well categorized. If you know what you’re looking for, it doesn’t take long to find it. They also try and provide a picture of the product that you’re looking at supplies for, which is great because sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between an HP-XYZ and an HP-XYZZ. In addition, there are discounts available for many of the products.

Probably the most important fact that I found was that they are a well rated company. I took a look through BizRate and they have a perfect rating after 2500 ratings (find that here). These kind of independent reviews are extremely important to the credibility of the company, which this company seems to have in spades.

I suggest you take a look at Supplies USA if you’re in the market for new office supplies. Their About Us page offers some additional information that you should also check out.
