I personally hate buying paper and packing supplies from the larger retail chains because of the high prices, poor service and not enough selection. Many years ago I found Paper Plus in El Cajon for all my paper needs.
The shop is off a busy street and is tucked between industrial buildings so it's tough to find the first time. The inside is nothing spectacular but that helps to keep the costs down. You have to buy in bulk but that's exactly what I need when buying tubes or bubble wrap.
The staff is always very helpful and is kind enough to help take your purchases to your vehicle.
