Morning,

I still have an unopened pack of 100 tri-carbon receipts. Should I just use those or should I really order the new ones? I was thinking I could just cross out the $4.25 and right in $4.50 until they are gone.

What would you do?

Thanks,
Karen
 
Waste not want not. I am going to use up my receipts. Will out the old shipping and write in the new, or just eat the difference until they are gone so that they don't look messy.
 
Thats what I would do! I usually print oof @ office depot so I have a ton of the old ones that say $4.00 and I just mark them out or tell guests that they are old if I use them. :rolleyes:
 
I am planning on using my old ones until they are all gone. During check out I'll just cross out the $4.25 and write the $4.50 under the direct S&H. Of course I will explain to the guests first about the S&H increase.
 
Last time it increased from $4.00 to the $4.25, I had a ton of receipts still with the old price. I just crossed crossed out the price and also made a note on the back with the effective date so they didn't think I just made it up. I never had anyone ask about it or make a note about it. I would always forget to mention it, too. Never was an issue. So, I plan to do the same thing this time.Remember, we usually get a free pack of the new receipts with our first supply order of the new season. It comes automatically, we don't have to enter in a code either.
